History of the Organization of
the Highway Department
The State Highway Department of Georgia was created by Act of the General Assembly, August 16, 1916, and a Highway Commission was appointed. This Commission was composed of three members of the Prison Commission, together with the State Geologist, the Dean of the College of Civil Engineering of the University of Georgia, and the Professor of Highway Engineering at the Georgia School of Technology. This Commission served until the reorganization of the Highway Department by Act of the General Assembly, approved August 18, 1919.
State Highway Board Created in 1919
The Act of 1919 provided that the State Highway Department of Georgia, reorganized and reconstructed, should be managed and controlled by the State Highway Board, which should consist of three members appointed by the Governor, one from each of the three divisions of the State. The boundaries of each division were set out. The term of office of initial appointees was to be two, four and six years, respectively, after which each new member was to .serve six years. The members received compensation on a daily basis while engaged in the performance of their duties.
New Highway Board Created in 1937
By an Act of the General Assembly approved March 3, 1937, the State. Highway Board was abolished and the terms and tenure of office of the members were terminated. Another Act was passed and approved on the same day, creating a new State Highway Board to consist of three members to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The members were to be selected from different sections of the State and the first three appointments were for terms of two, four and six years, respectively, after which the terms were to be for six years. From the beginning, the Chairman was a full-time officer, and an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 16, 1938, provided that the other two members should also devote their full time to the performance of the duties of their office.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Another Highway Board Created in 1941
The Act of March 3,1937, was repealed and the terms of office of the members of the State Highway Board were terminated by an Act of the General Assembly approved January 30, 1941. The latter Act provided that the State Highway Department should be managed and controlled by a State Highway Board composed of a Chairman and two members, to be appointed by the Governor from different sections of the State. The members were to serve during the term of the Governor by whom they were appointed. The Chairman was a full-time officer and the Act provided that the other two members should receive compensation on a daily basis while engaged in the performance of their duties.

Reorganization of 1943
The General Assembly of 1943 passed an Act, approved March 17, 1943, repealing the Act of January 30, 1941, and abolishing the State Highway Board. The 1943 Act provided that the State Highway Department should be managed and controlled by a State Highway Director, and created a State Highway Commission as an advisory body with whom the State Highway Director should from time to time consult regarding the administration of the affairs of the State Highway Department. The Act also created the office of Treasurer of the State Highway Department. All of these officers were appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The State Highway Director and Treasurer of the State Highway Department were full-time officers and served at the pleasure of the Governor. The part-time State Highway Commissioners were appointed for a term of four years, to be concurrent with the term of the Governor. One Commissioner was appointed from each of the ten Congressional Districts and two from the State at large. One member of the State Highway Commission was designated by the Governor to be Chairman, one member was designated as Vice-Chairman and another as Secretary.

Present Organization
The Act of March 17, 1943, was repealed by an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 2, 1950 (Act No. 536, Senate Bill No. 34, Georgia Laws 1950, pp. 62-72) and a further reorganization of the State Highway Department was effected. The

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

13.

1950 Act abolished the State Highway Commission and the position of State Highway Director, and created a State Highway Board, composed of three members, who are full-time officers. The first three members were elected by the General Assembly; one from the Southern Highway District, composed of the First, Second and Eighth Congressional Districts; one from the Central Highway District, composed of the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Tenth Congressional Districts; and one from the Northern Highway District, composed of the Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Congressional Districts. By an Act approved March 25, 1958, (Act No. 421, House Bill No. 418, Georgia Laws 1958, pp. 624-627) the counties of Elbert, Franklin, Hart and Madison, in the Tenth Congressional District, were removed from the Central Highway District and placed in the Northern Highway District.
The 1950 Act as amended by an Act approved February 5, 1951 (Act No. 56, Senate Bill No.1, Georgia Laws 1951, PP. 3141) provides that future members shall be elected by a majority vote of a caucus composed of all members of the General Assembly. Vacancies occurring when the General Assembly is not in session shall be filled by the Governor until the next meeting of the General Assembly, by appointment of a resident of the same Highway District to serve until the meeting of and election by members of the General Assembly at its next session, in the same manner as members are elected for a regular term, to fill the unexpired term.
The first member from the Southern Highway District was elected for a term of six years; the first member from the Central Highway District was elected for a term of four years; and the first member from the Northern Highway District was elected for a term of two years. Thereafter, the terms of the members will be six years, each dating from the expiration of the first terms, or from a subsequent six-year term. There shall always be one member from each of the three Highway Districts. Biennially, one of the members is elected as Chairman by a majority vote of the Board members present.
The 1950 Act provides that the Treasurer of the State Highway Department shall be appointed by a majority of the State Highway Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board.

State Highway Board
JIM L. GILLIS, SR., Chairman, State Highway Board CLARKE W. DUNCAN,. Member, State Highway Board WILLIS N. HARDEN, Member, State Highway Board
The members of the State Highway Board are elected by a caucus composed of all members of the General Assembly, as outlined in the preceding section of this report. Under the law, the State Highway Board is charged with the management and control of the State Highway Department, the State Highway System of roads and bridges, and the State Highway funds. The Board determines the policies of the Highway Department, approves the program of projects selected for improvement, executes all contracts, approves the employment of personnel, and authorizes the expenditure of funds.
During this biennium, contracts were awarded by the State Highway Department for the improvement of 2,483 miles of roadway and the construction of 346 bridges at a total cost of over $178 million. These contracts covered 259 miles of grading, 58 miles of grading and base, 154 miles of base, 1,828 miles of bituminous resurfacing, 53 miles of resurfacing, 14 miles of widening and resurfacing, 117 miles of concrete pavement, 1 bridge repaired, and 67 underpass structures. The total length of bridges was 10.8 miles.
In addition to the above, contracts were let by the Georgia Rural Roads Authority for 276 miles of grading and 690 miles of bituminous surfacing, or a total of 966 miles of roadway, and the construction of 42 bridges, at a total cost of over $18 million.
The Georgia State Highway Authority (formerly the State Bridge Building Authority) awarded contracts for the widening and resurfacing of 5,330 miles of roadway, and the construction of two bridges, at a total cost of over $66 million.
A statement is presented elsewhere in this report which shows' the mileage of each type of work and the total cost of projects let to contract for each class of Federal-aid funds, as well as 100 per cent State funds on the State Highway System and Post Roads. Similar information is given also for projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority and the Georgia State Highway Authority. A summary of all work mentioned above includes

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

8,779 miles of roadway improvements, and the construction of 390 bridges and 67 underpass structures. The total amount of all contracts awarded was over $264 million, which is the largest outlay for highway improvements within a two-year period in the history of the State.

State Highway System
Act No. 536 of the General Assembly, approved February 2, 1950, grants authority to the State Highway Board to substitute, relocate, and abandon any part of the State Highway System in building new roads or bridges, or in improving roads or bridges on the State Highway System, keeping in view only the control points.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1961, the mileage of the State Highway System was increased by 351.5 miles and during the year ending June 30, 1962, the System was increased by 167.6 miles.
The mileage of the State Highway System as of June 30, 1962, was 16,478.3 miles, of which 15,795.4 miles were paved and 682.9 miles were unpaved. A tabulation of the mileage by type of surface is given below and a list showing the mileage in each county appears elsewhere in this report. There were 3,863 bridges and grade separation structures on the State Highway System as of June 30, 1962, with a total length of 133.7 miles, which are included in the following tabulation according to the type of surface.

History of Organization
This agency was created in 1893 as the Office of Road Inquiry in the Department of Agriculture and later the name was changed to Bureau of Public Roads. Under Federal Reorganization Plan No.1, the personnel and functions of the Bureau of Public Roads were transferred to the Federal Works Agency and the name of the organization was changed to Public Roads Administration, effective July 1, 1939.
Under Reorganization Plan No.7, effective August 20, 1949, the Public Roads Administration was transferred to the Department of Commerce and the organization was given again the name of Bureau of Public Roads.
The Highway Department desires to express its sincere appreciation for the cooperation and services rendered by the Bureau of Public Roads.

The Federal-Aid Highway Program
The Federal-Aid Road Act of July 11, 1916, launched the Federal Government on a nationwide cooperative plan of highway improvement. A vital feature of this first Act was that the Federal Government was ". . . authorized to cooperate with the States through their respective State highway departments ..."
Since the Federal Highway Act of 1921 there has been a continuation of the cooperative Federal-aid Plan with initiative in the selection of the systems and the selection of projects resting with the State highway departments. The roads on the several Federal-aid highway systems are under the jurisdiction and control of the State or its political subdivisions and there are no Federal highways except those in Federal lands.
Apportionments
Federal funds for the construction and improvement of roads on the Federal-aid highway systems are authorized to be appropriated by Acts of Congress and the amount to be apportioned to each State is determined by the Secretary of Commerce in accordance with the formulas specified by Congressional Acts.
The following section of this report contains information as to the class of roads included in each of the Federal-aid highway systems, and a tabulation at the end of this section shows the amounts of the Federal-aid apportionments to Georgia since the first appropriation in 1917.
The Federal-aid Primary funds were apportioned among the several States on the basis of one-third according to area, onethird according to population, and one-third according to the mileage of rural delivery and star mail routes.
The Federal-aid Secondary funds were apportioned on the basis of one-third according to area, one-third according to rural population, and one-third according to mileage of rural delivery and star mail routes.
The Urban Highway funds were apportioned according to the population of municipalities and other urban places of 5,000 or more population.
Funds for the improvement of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways were first authorized in the Federal-

34

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Aid Highway Act of 1952, for the fiscal years 1954 and 1955, and were apportioned on the same basis as outlined above for Federal-aid Primary funds. The Interstate funds for the fiscal years 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959 were apportioned on the basis of one-half according to population and one-half in the same manner as the Primary funds. The Interstate funds for the fiscal years 1960 through 1964 were apportioned among the several States in the ratio which the estimated cost of completing the Interstate System in each State bears to the sum of the estimated cost of completing the Interstate System in all of the States, and the funds for the years 1965 through 1971 will be apportioned on the same basis. These cost estimates are to be made periodically by the Bureau of Public Roads and the State highway departments.
It is required that all Primary, Secondary and Urban funds be matched by the State on a 50-50 basis, except that 10 per cent of the sum authorized for each class of projects may be expended on railway-highway projects without State matching. This exception applies also to Interstate funds.
The Interstate funds for the years 1954 and 1955 were matched on a 50-50 basis. For the year 1956 and part of the funds for the year 1957, the matching was on the basis of 60 per cent Federal and 40 per cent State. The additional 1957 funds and those for the years 1958 through 1971 are to be matched on the basis of 90 per cent Federal and 10 per cent State.
There is shown below the amount of the apportionment to Georgia of Federal-aid Interstate, Primary, Urban and Secondary funds, and the amount of State-matching funds, for each of the years indicated.

agreements; i.e., after bids have been opened and the Bureau of Public Roads has concurred in the award of the contract, and the project agreement has been executed by the State Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads.
Diversion of Road-User Revenue
The policy that all road-user revenues should be used for highway purposes was first set forth by Congress in Section 12 of the Hayden-Cartwright Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 995) and was reaffirmed in Title 23, United States Code, Section 126, approved August 27, 1958, as follows:
(a) Since it is unfair and unjust to tax motor-vehicle transportation unless the proceeds of such taxation are applied to the construction, improvement, or maintenance of highways, after June 30, 1935, Federal aid for highway construction shall be extended only to those States that use at least the amounts provided by law on June 18, 1934, for such purposes in each State from State motor vehicle registration fees, licenses, gasoline taxes, and other special taxes on motor-vehicle owners and operators of all kinds for the construction, improvement, and maintenance of highways and administrative expenses in connection therewith, including the retirement of bonds for the payment of which such revenues have been pledged, and for no other purposes, under such regulations as the Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate from time to time.
(b) In no case shall the provisions of this section operate to deprive any State of more than one-third of the entire apportionment authorized under this chapter to which that State would be entitled in any fiscal year. The amount of any reduction in a State's apportionment shall be reapportioned in the same manner as any other unexpended balance at the end of the period during which it otherwise would be available in accordance with section 104 (b) of this title.
Programming and Subsequent Steps
Following apportionment of a year's authorization, the State Highway Department submits programs of proposed projects for improvement with the funds. After acceptance of the program by the Bureau of Public Roads, the State Highway Department acquires the right-of-way, makes detailed surveys for each project, and prepares plans, specifications, and final cost estimates. These must be approved by the Public Roads Division

Engineer. The Highway Department then advertises for bids and awards a contract for construction, subject to Public Roads concurrence. The day-to-day supervision of the work is performed by Highway Department engineers, but a Public Roads engineer makes periodic inspections on the site as more fully outlined below.
Public Roads does not prescribe detailed design standards and construction specifications for Federal-aid work. The general policies of design standards adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials are used by most of the States and they are endorsed by Public Roads. Details of design and construction specifications are prepared by each State to fit its individual needs, and are subject to review and approval by Public Roads.
1951,. Secondary Road Plan
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 provided that the Secretaryof Commerce may, upon the request of any State, discharge his responsibility relative to plans, specifications, estimates, surveys, contract awards, design, inspection, and construction of Federal-aid Secondary road projects by his receiving and approving a certified statement by the State Highway Department setting forth that the plans, design, and construction for such projects are in accord with the standards and procedures of the State applicable to projects in this category approved by him. The State Highway Department of Georgia put this plan into effect on November 1, 1954, and operations under the plan have proven very satisfactory.
It is still necessary that approval be obtained from the Bureau of Public Roads covering additions, extensions and changes in the Federal-aid Secondary System. But after a project has been approved in the program, the Highway Department prepares the plans, awards the contract, and supervises the construction without any further approval from the Bureau of Public Roads. Copies of the contract are filed with the Bureau of Public Roads and a final inspection is made by them after construction has been completed. The audit and reimbursement for the Federal share of the cost of the project is handled in the usual manner.

Public Hearings
Public hearings are required to be held by the State Highway Department on any Federal-aid highway project involving the

38

Twenty-Ninth: Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

bypassing of, or going through, any city, town, or village, either incorporated or unincorporated and the economic effects of such a location are considered by the Highway Department in determining the final location of the project. Also, on all Interstate System projects, public hearings are held at a convenient location for the purpose of enabling persons in rural areas through or contiguous to whose property the highway will pass to express any objections they may have to the proposed location of such highway. Transcripts of all public hearings are made and the State Highway Department gives careful consideration to all facts and recommendations of local citizens brought out in the hearing, in the selection of the final location of the highway. A copy of the transcript of all public hearings is forwarded to the Bureau of Public Roads.
Use of Federal-Aid Funds
Preliminary engineering and construction engineering, surveys, plans, and right-of-way costs are eligible for Federal participation, as well as the cost of construction. That part of the cost of relocation of utility facilities necessitated by the construction of a Federal-aid project which is accepted for State participation is eligible for Federal participation. Federal funds may also be used for archaeological and paleontological salvage when considered necessary in connection with the construction of a project. The maintenance of highways and bridges constructed with Federal-aid funds is the responsibility of the State and Federal funds may not be used for this purpose. As outlined later in this section, 1~ per cent of the Federal-aid apportionments may be used only for research and planning, including traffic studies and long-range planning.
Federal-aid funds may be used to retire bonds issued by the States, counties, cities, or other political subdivisions where proceeds of such bonds are used to accelerate the construction of toll-free facilities on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways or the Federal-aid Primary System, provided the work is done under plans approved in advance by the Federal Highway Administrator.

Inspecting and Testing Procedures
From the beginning of the Federal-aid program, the engineers of the Bureau of Public Roads have inspected periodically the work in progress (except for projects constructed under the

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

39

1954 Secondary Road Plan on which there is only a final inspection, as previously stated herein) and in 1960 this inspection service was expanded and strengthened. On April 29, 1960, the Bureau of Public Roads issued an instructional memorandum which contained four procedural requirements, as follows:
First, the Bureau's inspecting engineer is required to include in his inspection reports the findings from his reviews. If he finds that materials, test reports and other reports necessary to reflect the quality of workmanship required by the approved plans and specifications are not on file with the State Highway Department, appropriate steps should be taken to defer payment of progress vouchers to the State until necessary corrective action has been taken.
Second, the Bureau's inspecting engineer is to make thickness or other lineal measurements of some or all materials in place at random points at each inspection and include such data in his report. Additionally a sample will occasionally be taken during the inspections at random locations and the sample is to be delivered to the State Highway Department's central laboratory for check test, and a report thereof furnished to the Bureau's Division Engineer.
Third, at the time of final inspection of each project or prior thereto, record samples are to be taken of the finished work in place for check test by the State's central laboratory, and a report thereof is to be furnished to the Bureau's Division Engineer, with certification by a duly authorized representative of the State Highway Department as to conformity of the record samples with the governing plans and specifications and whether the results of the record sample tests are reasonably representative of the materials incorporated in the project as shown by the regular testing and sampling done on the project as the work progressed.
Fourth, record samples are to be taken from the finished work in place of projects constructed under the 1954 Secondary Road Plan and certification as regards the record samples is to accompany the State's final claim for reimbursement.

Highway Planning
Since 1934, the Federal-Aid Highway Acts have authorized the use of 11;2 per cent of the Federal-aid apportionment to any State for engineering and economic investigations and highway

research. The fact-finding studies which were inaugurated under this provision have been carried on in Georgia, since 1937, by the Division of Highway Planning. The wisdom of this provision has been amply demonstrated, and the continuing highway planning surveys of the various States have provided the facts necessary for determining highway needs of the future. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 provides that the 1112 per cent funds shall be available for expenditure only for planning and research.

Federal-Aid Fiscal Procedure
Federal funds for highway work are not turned over to the State in advance of construction. Instead, they are paid to the State in the form of reimbursement during and after the period that the work is in progress. They are paid only on projects for which the plans have been approved previously by the Bureau of Public Roads and for which the work is conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements established by the Bureau of Public Roads. The State Highway Department makes payments from State funds to the contractor on monthly estimates of the dollar value of work that has been accomplished on a project. The State Highway Department then submits monthly progress vouchers for the work accomplished on which the Federal Government makes prompt payment.
A project is reported completed when the major elements of construction are done and the road or bridge is open to traffic. To secure final reimbursement the State Highway Department then submits a final voucher to the Bureau of Public Roads indicating the various construction items and claiming the Federal portion due but not paid on progress vouchers. Final reimbursement is not made until the project has been finally inspected and a determination made by field engineers of the Bureau of Public Roads that it was constructed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and estimates, and a detail audit made of the claim by a Federal auditor.
Upon request of the State Highway Department, Federal funds will be advanced by the Bureau of Public Roads for the acquisition of rights-of-way but it is required that actual construction of a road on such rights-of-way be completed within a period not exceeding seven years following the fiscal year in which such request is made. Federal participation in the cost of rights-of-

way acquired under this procedure shall not exceed the Federal pro rata share applicable to the class of funds from which the' Federal reimbursement is made.

Interstate System
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, as amended, authorizes the appropriation of Federal funds over a 15-year period for completing the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and expressly provides that the standards for the system shall be adequate to accommodate the traffic expected thereon in the year 1975. The system is to be developed to freeway characteristics.
The design standards adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads provide that the highways must be designed with control of access to insure their safety, permanence, and utility and with flexibility to provide for possible future expansion. The highways shall be designed to serve safely and efficiently the volumes of passenger vehicles, busses, and trucks, including tractor-trailer and semitrailer combinations and corresponding military equipment, estimated to be that which will exist in 1975, including attracted, generated, and development traffic on the basis that the entire system is completed.
As stated, control of access is required for all sections of the Interstate System, and this shall be accomplished by acquiring access rights outright prior to construction or by the construction of frontage roads, or both. Railroad grade crossings shall be eliminated for all through traffic lanes, and all at-grade intersections of public highways and private driveways shall be eliminated.
The design speed of all highways on the system shall be at least 70, 60 and 50 miles per hour for flat, rolling, and mountainous topography, respectively, and depending upon the nature of terrain and development. The design speed in urban areas should be at least 50 miles per hour. Traffic lanes shall not be less than 12 feet wide, and wide rights-of-way are desirable.
The following section of this report contains a map and other information on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in Georgia.

National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in Georgia.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Highway Systems
Classification of highways is made necessary by the several plans of highway financing that have been developed during the years by the State and Federal Governments. Each plan of financing limits itself to particular highways or kinds of highways and thus establishes a new classification. It is possible for a highway to be on two or more systems. For example, a road may be on both the State Highway System and the Federalaid Primary System; or a road may be classified as a County Road, a Post Road, and a Federal-aid Secondary Road. The classes of highways in Georgia based on methods of financing are as follows:
1. National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. 2. Federal-aid Primary System. 3. Federal-aid Secondary System. 4. Forest Highway System. 5. State Highway System. 6. Post Roads. 7. County Roads.
The System of United States Numbered Highways (such as U. S. 41) was established for reasons other than financing, as will be explained under that heading.
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways
The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, authorized in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944 and selected by the State highway departments in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads, was approved on August 2, 1947. Additional routes into, through, and around urban areas were approved on September 15, 1955. An additional 1,000 miles, authorized in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, was approved on October 17, 1957, bringing the total mileage of the System to 41,000 miles.
The Interstate System consists of routes of highest importance to the nation, which connect the principal metropolitan areas, cities and industrial centers, serve the national defense, and connect at suitable border points with routes of continental importance in the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mexico. The Interstate System is a part of the Federal-aid Primary

50

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

System, as all Interstate routes not already included in the Primary System were automatically added thereto by law.
No funds other than the regular Primary and Urban funds had been appropriated for the development of the Interstate System prior to the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952, but that Act and subsequent Acts authorized separate and additional appropriations for the purpose of expediting the construction, reconstruction and improvement of the Interstate System. Information as to the financing of these improvements, the standards to govern, etc., has been given in the preceding section of this report.
The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in Georgia will consist of approximately 1,103 miles when completed, based on the estimated mileage between approved control points. The accompanying map shows the control points included in the original approval of the system in Georgia and the general direction of the routes. Final locations of the routes have been and will be determined by means of engineering, traffic and economic studies, including consideration of local needs, and agreed upon by the State Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads. Where an Interstate highway is not to be constructed on the existing highway location, the existing highway route will generally be retained on the Federal-aid Primary System and thus be eligible for improvement with appropriate Federal-aid funds.
The plan for numbering routes on the Interstate System, formulated by the American Association of State Highway Officials and endorsed by the Bureau of Public Roads, provides for a distinctive design for the Interstate Route marker. The design is a shield of different size, color and shape from that used for the U. S. Route marker. The legend and border of the marker is reflectorized white, the background is reflectorized red at the top and reflectorized blue at the bottom. The legend "Interstate", the name of the State and the route number is carried on the marker. An Interstate Route will carry the same number for the full length of the route through several States or entirely across the country.

Federal-Aid Primary System
The Federal-aid Primary System consists of routes of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and other

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

51

important routes with their urban extensions, including important loops, belt highways and spurs. This system was first designated under authority of the Federal Highway Act of 1921 and the routes were selected by mutual agreement between the State highway departments and the Bureau of Public Roads. Additions, revisions and changes in the routes have been made during the intervening years as conditions justified, and studies continue to be made so that the system will contain the routes of greatest importance, within the mileage limitation fixed by law.
The system is limited to seven per cent of the 1921 total highway mileage in the State, except that in addition the law permits, without charge against the seven per cent limitation, mileage within Federal reservations, mileage within designated urban areas, and mileage of Interstate routes that were not a part of the Primary System prior to their designation as Interstate routes. Permissible system mileage may be increased by increments of one per cent of the 1921 total highway mileage whenever provision has been made for the completion and maintenance of 90 per cent of the State's entire system. The system may be considered as meeting the 90 per cent completion requirement if 90 per cent of the miles has been improved to provide right-of-way, geometric design, surface, base and subgrade, and structures consistent with requirements for traffic service. The original mileage eligible for inclusion in the Federal-aid Primary System in Georgia was 5,662 miles, based on seven per cent of 80,892 miles. On June 23, 1939, a one per cent increment of 808.9 miles was approved, and another increment of one per cent was approved on August 19, 1940, so that the present total permissible mileage is 7,279.8 miles.
The designated Federal-aid Primary System in Georgia as of June 30, 1962, comprised 7,875.8 miles in rural areas, 803.7 miles within established urban areas, and 223.1 miles within Federal reservations, or a total of 8,902.6 miles. This total includes 1,103.6 miles of the Interstate System, most of which is projected mileage. The total mileage chargeable against the permissible mileage of 7,279.8 miles is 7,010.9 miles.

Federal-Aid Secondary System
The Federal-Aid Highway Acts of 1936 and 1944 provided for the selection and designation of a system of principal secondary and feeder roads, including farm-to-market roads, rural mail

52

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

routes, and school-bus routes, but not limited to roads of these specific descriptions. These roads are selected by the State Highway Department in cooperation with the county commissioners and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads, and are the only roads on which Federal-aid Secondary funds may be expended. The approved System as of June 30, 1962, contained 19,533.2 miles, of which 8,319.7 miles were also on the State Highway System.
The Federal-aid Secondary System may be located both in rural and urban areas, but any extension of the system into urban areas of 5,000 or more population shall be subject to the condition that such extension pass through the urban area or connect with another Federal-aid system within the urban area. Urban boundaries have been established by the State Highway Department and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads for all cities having a population of 5,000 or more, according to the census of 1960. A map showing the urban boundaries has been forwarded to the mayor of each city, and to the county commissioners of the county in which the city is located. Extensions of Federal-aid Secondary routes through urban areas of 5,000 or more population are included in the total mileage of the Secondary System, and such extensions are eligible for improvement with Federalaid Secondary funds or Federal-aid Urban funds.

Forest Highway System
Forest highways are those forest roads wholly or partly within, adjoining, or adjacent to and serving the national forests that are of primary importance to the State, counties or communities, and that have been selected and designated by the Federal Highway Administrator of the Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the Chief of the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture as constituent parts of the Forest Highway System. It is not a thoroughly connected system, but is composed of individual and frequently separated routes, generally of short length. Forest Highways are classified as follows:
Class 1. On the Federal-aid Primary System.
Class 2. On the Federal-aid Secondary System.
Class 3. Other Forest Highways.

The Forest Highway System may be increased or decreased In mileage when the proposed modifications have been jointly agreed upon and recommended by the State Highway Department, the Regional Forester, the Division Engineer and the Regional Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, and approved by the Federal Highway Administrator and the Chief of the Forest Service. Funds for the construction of Forest Highways are provided by Congressional appropriation and are usually included in the same Act as other Federal-aid Highway funds. The funds are prorated and apportioned among the several States according to the area and value of the national forests, and the construction work is supervised by the Regional Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads.

State Highway System
Roads on the State Highway System are located, constructed, improved and maintained by the State Highway Department. The original system of 4,800 miles was established under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of Georgia, approved August 18, 1919. This Act provided that the State Highway Board should designate the system of interconnecting county-seat public roads as State-aid Roads. An amendment of 1921 increased the limit to 5,500 miles, an amendment of 1925 increased it to 6,300 miles, and other increases were made by amendments passed in 1929 and 1933. An Act approved February 12, 1938, gave the State Highway Board the right and authority to designate any public road in the State as a State-aid Road, with no limitation by statute as to the mileage of the State Highway System.
An Act of the General Assembly, approved March 17, 1943, which abolished the State Highway Board and created a State Highway Department under a State Highway Director, and a State Highway Commission, authorized and empowered the

54

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

State Highway Director to place on the State Highway System any roads he deemed necessary to the best interests of the State, when approved by a majority of the State Highway Commission, by first giving written notice to the county road authorities concerned thirty days prior to such action. This Act of March 17, 1943, was repealed by an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 2, 1950.
The Act of February 2, 1950, as amended, which created the present State Highway Board, contains a section which reads in part as follows:
The present State Highway system mileage, known as Stateaid roads, as shown by the records of the State Highway Department at the time of the passage of this amendment shall remain on the State highway system mileage and be maintained by the State Highway Department. Provided, however, the State Highway Board shall have the right to substitute, relocate, and abandon any or all of the State highway system mileage in building new roads or bridges or in improving the State highway system roads and bridges, keeping in view only the control points as shown by the present State highway system. In relocating, resurveying, substituting and abandoning any road, bridge or right-of-way on the State highway system, the State Highway Board shall confer with the ordinary or county commissioners concerned, as the case may be, and give due consideration to their wishes in the said relocation, resurveying, substitution and abandonment, but in case of disagreement the judgment of the State Highway Board shall prevail. The State Highway Board shall prescribe appropriate rules and regulations by which new mileage may be added to the State highway system. Provided, however, no new mileage shall be added to the State highway system until 90% of the roads and bridges of the State highway system are paved, except in emergencies or unusual situations as shown by appropriate resolutions entered on the minutes of the State Highway Board.
The State Highway System contained 16,478.3 miles as of June 30, 1962, of which 15,795.4 miles, or 95.9 per cent, were paved.
Post Roads
All rural roads over which United States mail is carried are postal routes; however, in Georgia only such roads that are not

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

55

on the State Highway System are classified as Post Roads. The Act of 1937 which established the Post Roads Division within the State Highway Department and authorized the expenditure of State funds for the construction of Post Roads, also authorized the State Highway Department to construct farm-to-market roads, so that generally the term "Post Roads" is applied to all public roads in Georgia not on the State Highway System.
Post Roads and farm-to-market roads may be constructed by the State Highway Department to the extent that funds are made available, but the construction and maintenance of such roads are primarily the responsibility of the counties. There are 71,476.3 miles of Post Roads and farm-to-market roads in Georgia not on the State Highway System. All of these roads are classified also as County Roads, inasmuch as they are under the control and jurisdiction of the counties.

County Roads
All rural roads in the State not on the State Highway System nor within Federal or State reservations are classified as County Roads. The counties are responsible for the construction and maintenance of these roads; although, as stated above, the State Highway Department undertakes to construct as many of them as possible with Federal-aid Secondary funds and State funds. The county commissioners (or ordinary in counties having no commissioners) are authorized to open and locate new roads. There are 71,476.3 miles of County Roads, including roads in the State parks, national forests, and State reservations. These are classified also as Post Roads and farm-to-market roads and include 11,099 miles on the Federal-aid Secondary System.

United States Numbered Highways
In 1926, the American Association of State Highway Officials (being composed of all the State Highway Departments and the Bureau of Public Roads of the Federal Government) selected a limited system of State roads to carry continuous numbers across the country so as to facilitate travel on the main interstate lines, over the shortest routes and the best roads. These roads are designated by the use of the United States shield as the insignia, and are commonly referred to as U. S. Routes or U. S. Numbered Highways. The establishment of a U. S. number as a guide for interstate travel over certain roads has no connection with Fed-

56

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

eral control or the designation of Federal funds for road construction and, therefore, the U. S. Highway numbers should not be confused with route numbers assigned to the Federal-aid Highway System. The U. S. numbers may recognize a State road which has been constructed entirely by the use of State funds.
Additions, changes, extensions, revisions or reductions in the U. S. Numbered System are made by the Executive Committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials, after consulting with the Highway Department of the States affected. The established policies of the Executive Committee provide that no additional road shall be added to the U. S. Numbered System, and no existing U. S. road shall be extended except where there is a definite showing of an adequately improved highway carrying an established and necessary line of interstate traffic not otherwise provided for by existing U. S. routes and for which traffic adequate service cannot be provided by State route numbers.
Extension of present U. S. numbered routes may be made only when the proposed extension is in the general direction of the present route. Proposed extensions shall not be made when, to do so, it is necessary to duplicate U. S. routes already established, unless the duplication is for a short distance and the routes then diverge, ending in a different terminal point. Also, no new U. S. route located wholly in one State may be established and no new divided numbers shall be adopted.

1\leasurement and Record
of Public Roads
Act No. 56 of the General Assembly, approved February 5, 1951, provides that the State Highway Department shall keep a record as accurate and up-to-date as is reasonably possible of all roads and bridges in the State. This record shall include the mileage of all roads and bridges on the various county road systems that are being maintained by the counties and the mileage of all roads and bridges which are a part of the State Highway System and are being maintained by the State Highway Department. The record shall show the mileage of roads in each county that is paved and unpaved, and such other information as to the condition, status, type and use as deemed necessary for sound long-range planning of construction and maintenance.
Measurement of Roads
The Act authorized the State Highway Board to employ personnel to go into the counties to inspect and measure the public roads and gather the information necessary for the compilation of the above records. The Highway Board directed the Division of Highway Planning to maintain the required records and to make the measurement of public roads in each county. The work was completed in all counties in 1954.
The legislative Act provides that not more than every four years the county road authorities may request an official inspection and measurement of the roads in the county, under the uniform rules and regulations of the Highway Department. Such re-measurement in all counties was completed in 1961, and this work will be continued in the future.

Georgia Rural Roads Authority
The Georgia Rural Roads Authority was created by an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 8, 1955, as a body corporate and politic and an instrumentality and public corporation of the State of Georgia. The purpose of the Authority is to construct rural roads not on the State Highway System by means of long-term revenue bond financing.
Membership
The original Act provided that the Authority should consist of a member of the State Highway Board to be designated by the Governor and four additional members to be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. An amendment approved February 3, 1959, provides that the Authority shall consist of the same membership as the State Highway Board and that the members of the State Highway Board shall be ex-officio the members of the Authority as a separate and distinct duty, for which they shall receive no additional compensation. However, they are entitled to actual expenses necessarily incurred while in the performance of their duties on behalf of the Authority. The members of the Authority as of June 30, 1962, are Jim L. Gillis, Sr., Chairman, Clarke W. Duncan and Willis N. Harden. W. M. Williams is Secretary and Treasurer.
Projects
The right-of-way for projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority is obtained by the county in which the project is located, and the Authority is given a deed to the land. The State Highway Department makes the surveys, prepares the plans and specifications, and furnishes engineering and construction supervision for projects of the Rural Roads Authority, and is reimbursed by the Authority for the costs involved up to 10 per cent. The construction is performed under contracts let by competitive bids, except that a contract may be made with a county or other political subdivision, upon agreed terms and without bids, but the unit prices shall not exceed the average of the unit prices submitted in the immediately preceding 60 days by competitive bidders for similar construction to the Highway Department or the Authority, whichever is less.

Bonds
The Authority is authorized to issue negotiable bonds in a sum not to exceed $100 million outstanding at anyone time for the purpose of paying the cost of constructing rural roads and bridges, but this amount shall not exceed $30 million unless authorized by the Governor. The bonds and the income thereof are exempt from all taxation within the State. The Act provides that the bonds shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of the State of Georgia or a pledge of the credit of the State, but shall be payable solely from the rental to be paid for the use of the projects by the State Highway Department, as outlined below. Bonds have been issued and delivered as shown below.

Georgia State Highway Authority

The State Bridge Building Authority was created by an Act

of the General Assembly, approved March 25, 1953, as a body

corporate and politic which shall be deemed to be an instru-

mentality of the State of Georgia and a public corporation, for

the purpose of constructing bridges on the State Highway

System, to be financed by the issuance of revenue bonds. An Act

";

approved January 18, 1961, renamed the Authority the Georgia

State Highway Authority, and provides that existing roads on

the State Highway System, as well as bridges, may be projects

of the Authority.

Membership
The original Act provided that the Authority should consist of three members, one of whom should be the Chairman of the State Highway Board, and two other members to be appointed by the Governor. An amendment approved February 3, 1959, provides that the Authority shall consist of the same membership as the State Highway Board and that the members of the State Highway Board shall be ex-officio the members of the Authority as a separate and distinct duty, for which they shall receive no additional compensation. However, they are entitled to actual expenses necessarily incurred while in the performance of their duties on behalf of the Authority. The members of the Authority as of June 30, 1962, are Jim L. Gillis, Sr., Chairman, Clarke W. Duncan and Willis N. Harden. W. M. Williams is Secretary of the Authority.

Revenue Bonds
In the original Act, the Authority was granted the power to issue negotiable revenue bonds in a sum not to exceed $30 million outstanding at anyone time. The 1961 Act increased this amount to $130 million, and an amendment approved February 16, 1962, increased the amount to $134 million. The bonds and interest therefrom are exempt from taxation by the State of Georgia. The bonds are not deemed to constitute a debt of the State of Georgia, but are payable solely from the fund created by the rental of the bridges and roads.

State Toll Bridge Authority
The State Toll Bridge Authority was created by an Act of the General Assembly, approved March 2, 1953, as a body corporate and politic and an instrumentality and public corporation of the State of Georgia. The purpose of the Authority is to construct bridges on the State Highway System to be financed by the issuance of revenue bonds of the Authority secured by the revenue to be received from tolls.
Membership
The original Act provided that the Authority should consist of three members, appointed by the Governor. An Act approved October 5, 1962, provides that the Authority shall consist of the same membership as the State Highway Board. The members of the State Highway Board shall be ex-officio members of the Authority as a separate and distinct duty for which they shall receive no additional compensation. All members of the Authority shall be entitled to all actual expenses necessarily incurred while in the performance of duties on behalf of the Authority.
Tolls
For the purpose of earning sufficient revenues to make possible the financing of the construction of the projects of the Authority with revenue bonds, the Authority is authorized and empowered to collect tolls on each project which it shall cause to be constructed. When the bonds issued for a particular bridge have been paid in full, the tolls shall cease and the bridge shall become a part of the State Highway System and thereafter be maintained by the State Highway Department.
Bonds
The Authority is authorized to issue negotiable revenue bonds, to mature within 40 years, and to be paid solely from tolls and other revenues from the bridges to be constructed from the proceeds of the bonds. The bonds and income thereof are exempt from all taxation within the State. The bonds shall not constitute a debt of the State of Georgia or a pledge of the faith and credit of the State.

Legal Division
EUGENE COOK The Attorney General
CARTER GOODE Assistant Attorney General
Special Attorney for the State Highway Department
The Attorney General has the duty and responsibility of furnishing legal advice to, and representation of, all the Departments of the State Government. By statute, one Assistant Attorney General shall serve the Highway Department as its Special Attorney. The Legal Division consists of the Attorney General, the Special Attorney, and other personnel of the State Law Department assigned and designated to represent the State Highway Department.
Litigation
During this biennium, activities in connection with the acquisition of right-of-way through condemnation proceedings in the courts have constituted the most important activity of the Legal Division, from the standpoint of volume of litigation and number and complexity of legal questions. All condemnation cases filed in the name of the State Highway Department bear the signatures of the Attorney General, the Special Attorney, and one or more other Assistant Attorneys General, or Deputies, as counsel for the Department. County Attorneys and City Attorneys handle the actual filing of condemnations, and conduct litigation with such assistance from the Legal Division as becomes necessary or desirable.
In addition to the condemnation cases filed in the name of the State Highway Department, certain condemnations in which the Department is interested financially are filed in the names of counties and cities. The Legal Division also furnishes assistance in these cases.
Approximately 1,000 cases were filed in the name of the State Highway Department or in which the Department was financially interested during the biennium.

84

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

In cases where the workload has taxed the capacity of County and City Attorneys, the Legal Division has provided assistance both from regularly assigned personnel and by Deputy Assistant Attorneys General appointed to handle specific cases or cases relating to a particular project. The appointment of such Deputy Assistant Attorneys General has been limited to situations where the furnishing of assistance was beyond the physical capacity of the Legal Division, and where by reason of distance from Atlanta the appointment of a Deputy resulted in savings to the State. Expenses incurred by the State Law Department for the employment of Deputy Assistant Attorneys General to handle specific cases, or cases on a particular project, are reimbursable by the State Highway Department and such expenses are eligible for Federal participation on the same basis as other expenses of the projects.
It is considered that the Legal Division furnishes backup support to County and City Attorneys in right-of-way acquisition by condemnation, with regularly assigned personnel or specially employed Deputy Assistant Attorneys General, as may be most suitable in a particular instance.
In addition to condemnation litigation, the Legal Division defends suits for taking or damaging private property and injunction suits; conducts contract litigation; and litigation to prevent encroachments on highway right-of-way.
During the biennium, the Legal Division has appeared in six cases in the Supreme Court and in 19 cases in the Court of Appeals.
Contract Negotiation
Members of the Legal Division have participated in negotiations with the Bureau of Public Roads, the Corps of Engineers, and other Federal Agencies, concerning matters of mutual interest, and have assisted in the preparation of contracts with Federal Agencies looking to the accomplishment of cooperative programs for highway construction and improvement.

Miscellaneous Activities
The Attorney General, as the Chief Legal Officer of the State, furnishes formal Opinions to the Department on legal questions submitted to him, and the other members of the Legal Division

Division of Public Relations
T.R.LEDFORD Public Relations Representative
This division was established in the fall of 1956 to assist statewide news media in keeping the public informed on the status of Georgia's ever-expanding highway program. The staff of this division consists of the Public Relations Representative, who reports to the State Highway Board and the State Highway Engineer, and the necessary secretarial personnel. The methods used by the Division of Public Relations in the accomplishment of its function include: press liaison, slide lectures and speeches, photographs, publications, displays and special events, and coordination with State and commercial agencies and individuals interested in promoting Georgia and the State and national roadbuilding program.
Press Liaison
The Division of Public Relations provides an established channel of communication between the representatives of the news media (newspapers, radio and television, and magazines) and the appointed officials and engineers of the Highway Department.
The division assists newsmen in getting complete information in less technical language, while at the same time serving the best interests of the Highway Department by striving to insure that such information is factual and is clearly understood by the reporter, that the complex problems encountered by the Department are clearly pointed out to the newsmen, and that the newsmen are kept aware of the career status and political neutrality of the engineers.
News Releases
News releases on matters of statewide interest are prepared by this division, reproduced by Highway Department facilities, and mailed to all daily and weekly newspapers and radio and television stations within the State. Also, local releases are prepared for particular papers and broadcasting stations on matters of interest within their circulation or broadcast area, such as

88

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

traffic surveys, public hearings, specific road projects, and news of Highway Department personnel or installations in that area. This division cooperates fully with other divisions in obtaining news coverage on matters requiring widespread public understanding and support. For example, during July and August 1962, a series of nine releases were sent out in coordination with the efforts of the Division of Highway Planning to secure local cooperation in the inauguration of the new Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Radio and Television
This division assists representatives of radio and television in obtaining taped or filmed interviews with Highway Board members and engineers, assisting in preparation of the necessary scripts and in obtaining any maps, photos, or other "props" for use in these presentations. On occasion, tape recordings are made by this office and mailed to specific radio stations outside the Atlanta area; stations whose representatives cannot contact General Office personnel in person. It is felt that the increasing number of Highway Department personnel who have participated in radio and television interviews has made more personal the relationship between the people of Georgia and the men who build and maintain their roads.

Slide Lecture Program
A slide lecture program is the chief means of direct contact between this division and the public. A standard lecture, defining the many steps in roadbuilding and introducing some of the major facets of the current program, was developed, illustrated with 35-millimeter color slides, and reviewed for accuracy by Highway Department engineers. This program has been well received by the public, and has since been duplicated, with copies furnished to the chapters of the Georgia Highway Department Engineers' Association (GHDEA) for use by their speakers. The original slides are periodically updated and varied to enliven the program.
On occasion, the Public Relations Division furnishes, or coordinates with the GHDEA in furnishing speakers to civic, fraternal, church, and other groups. This office also provides or shows, upon request, one of the several available films dealing with highway activities in a general sense.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

89

Photographs
This office takes and processes photographs for submission to news media and publications, for exhibits, and for use by other Highway Department divisions. From time to time, photographs taken on a specific project of wide interest or of a new technique are "matted" and sent to all State newspapers for their use. A number of commercial organizations in the roadbuilding field have provided financial support to this undertaking, so that the only cost to the State has been for postage in most instances. Photographs and color slides are also furnished by this office to other State agencies for their use in promotion activities in Georgia's behalf.

Publications, Displays and Special Events
This office has prepared a booklet entitled Facts About Highways and Your Highway Department, which was illustrated with drawings and photos and reproduced on Highway Department facilities for distribution to students and the general public. During 1962 alone, several thousand copies of this booklet have been distributed. This division also seeks to take every possible advantage of outside publications (Georgia County Government Magazine, Dixie Contractor, etc.) to tell the Highway Department story. We assist these magazines in preparing stories, or submit to them stories and photos prepared on a "speculative" basis for their consideration and possible use.
Every opportunity is taken to prepare and set up displays at public functions, etc., which promote the highway program. One such exhibit was displayed at the Atlanta Public Library during July, August and September 1962. The exhibits used are prepared by Highway Department personnel at minimum cost, and this office is grateful for the cooperation received from other divisions whenever they are called upon for assistance.
Typical "special events" are road and Highway Department facility dedications, editors' meets, and project press tours, in which a group of news media representatives are shown a specific project or series of projects. An example of this was a small press tour of Interstate Route 75 between Perry and Valdosta in May 1962, which resulted in an article in the Atlanta Constitution and an eight-article series in the Macon News-Telegraph.

Coordination With Oth er Agenci es
The best example of this type of activity is the annual HIGHWAY WEEK, during which this division works closely wi th national and State organizations in the roadbuilding field to focus public attention on highway matters and to inform the public of progress being made in Georgia's highway program. Such coordination eliminates duplication of effort, giving the outside .agencies the benefit of rapid and complete access to the Highway Department's personnel and records, and giving the Department the benefit of the financial resources of these organizations and their skill in dealing with the public and with news media.

Personnel Division
SAM CALDWELL Personnel Administrator and Compensation Claims Executive
The Personnel Division receives and analyzes applications for employment, interviews applicants, and cooperates with the division heads in the selection and assignment of qualified personnel, including engineers, technical, accounting and clerical workers.
The employment of all personnel and changes in salary, promotions, transfers, etc., are authorized by the State Highway Board, and the Personnel Division prepares or processes the necessary documents for submission to the Board. This division maintains files containing pertinent information concerning each employee, which is made available to the Board in connection with advancement of employees.
State Merit System
The Highway Department has been operating under the State Merit System of Personnel Administration since August 10, 1949. About half of the employees are in positions covered by the Merit System, including engineers, draftsmen, instrumentmen, inspectors, laboratory technicians, accounting and clerical personnel. Employees not covered by the Merit System are those assigned to the equipment repair shops, foremen, timekeepers, patrolmen, rodmen, chainmen, equipment operators, laborers, and other miscellaneous nontechnical workers.
The Personnel Division maintains liaison with the State Merit System and handles all matters pertaining to the System, such as scheduling of examinations for employees, maintaining uniformity in salary for the different job classifications, submission of the required reports, and all other details to insure compliance with the rules and regulations of the Merit System.
Employees' Retirement System
Since January 1, 1950, employees of the Highway Department who are under the Merit System have been covered by the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, except those who were employed prior to that date and themselves elected not to become

92

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

a member of the Retirement System. On July 1, 1953, the Retirement System was extended to cover all employees of the Highway Department, regardless of Merit System status, except those who were employed at that time and preferred not to participate in the retirement plan.
An employee is eligible for retirement at age 60, or after 30 years of service. Retirement is compulsory at the age of 70, except that persons with professional, scientific and/or technical skill who are so certified to the Retirement System by the State Highway Board may continue in their employment.
Since July 1, 1956, all employees of the Highway Department have been covered also by the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program under the Federal Social Security law, except those who were employed at that time and elected not to participate. All matters pertaining to the Retirement System and the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program are handled within the Highway Department by the Division of Finance and Audits, which is responsible for keeping the necessary records and submitting the required reports.

Employees' Health. Insurance
On July 1, 1962, employees of the Highway Department who desired to participate were enrolled under the State of Georgia Employees' Health Insurance Plan, which is administered by the State Merit System. In the future, all employees, except parttime and seasonal employees, will be required to participate in this group health insurance program, on a payroll-deduction basis. This plan provides hospital insurance, basic and major medical benefits, and will be of inestimable value to the employees. The Personnel Division furnishes information to the employees and assists them in filling out the necessary forms in connection with claims under the insurance program.

In-Service Training Program
A special system of in-service training for civil engineering graduates has been in operation for the past 12 years. Under this program, the trainee is transferred from unit to unit on a prearranged schedule and his assignment consists of actual performance of the regular duties of the unit, with full facilities of the unit being made available. In this manner, he is enabled to

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

93

acquire a thorough working knowledge of the details of each phase of the work. A number of these engineers have completed the three-year training program and are holding responsible positions in the Department. While in training the engineers are given the title of Junior Highway Engineer and 36 were enrolled in this program as of June 30, 1962.

Cooperative Plan of Employment
The Highway Department also has in effect the cooperative plan for college students, whereby civil engineering students work with the Highway Department for three months and attend school three months, continuing through the Junior school year. This program gives the trainee an opportunity, while attending school, to coordinate engineering principles as taught with the principles of actual highway design, construction and maintenance, thereby qualifying him for a more advanced and responsible job when he receives his degree from college. Over a period of years, the Highway Department has acquired a considerable number of key engineers through the cooperative plan.
In addition to the cooperative plan for civil engineers, the Highway Department participates in a cooperative plan with Southern Technical Institute, for young men who find it necessary to get a technical degree in less time than is required in a full-course engineering school. The plan was started at Southern Technical Institute in the fall of 1957 and 45 students are now enrolled under the cooperative plan and working for the Highway Department. This is a very fine program and one that will mean much to the future of both the school and the Highway Department.
Compensation Claims
Employees of the Highway Department who receive personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of their employment come within the provisions of the Georgia Workmen's Compensation Laws, and the Personnel Division is responsible for handling all matters pertaining to such cases. This division receives reports of all injuries to employees, investigates the cases, and follows up with such action as is proper under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
The Highway Department is represented by the Personnel Administrator and Compensation Claims Executive, or the As-

94

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

sistant Compensation Claims Executive, before the State Board of Workmen's Compensation in Atlanta, or its commission in the county in which the accident occurred. When awards are rendered by the Compensation Board, the Personnel Administrator and Compensation Claims Executive authorizes payment of compensation and medical expenses in accordance with the awards. He and his assistant conduct the necessary correspondence and negotiations with attorneys, doctors, hospitals, courts of law, and other persons concerned with the Workmen's Compensation claims.
The Compensation Section of the Personnel Division works with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in an effort to return injured employees to their jobs or other suitable employment with the State Highway Department. Employees who sustain permanent disabilities are returned to employment to jobs which they may fulfill, or when necessary to limited duties. Return of partially disabled employees to remunerative employment has reduced compensation costs and assisted employees in their recovery. Insistence upon complete medical attention and the use of prosthetic devices to return employees to gainful employment has resulted in a reduction of the average cost per injury by reducing the amount of compensation paid.

AASHO 25-Year Award of Merit
The benefits to be derived by an organization from the long and faithful service of its employees are well known and the State Highway Department is fortunate in having a large number of employees with many years of service. During this biennium 14 employees received recognition in this respect by being presented with the Twenty-Five-Year Award of Merit of the American Association of State Highway Officials. This award, consisting of a certificate and lapel button, is conferred annually by the Association to employees in certain grades, who have had 25 years of service, either continuous or cumulative, in one or more member departments. The member departments are the 50 State highway departments, the Highway Department of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia Highway Department, and the Bureau of Public Roads. The following employees of the State

Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping
L. W. VERNER State Highway Location Engineer
The Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping is charged with the responsibility of locating all principal highways in the State. This division also furnishes other divisions with aerial photographs when needed for various reasons, and the Division of Road Design and the Division of Right-of-Way are furnished complete sets of photogrammetric maps with the approved route of a proposed highway shown on the maps.
Since the introduction of aerial photographs and maps made by photogrammetric methods by the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping, it can be conservatively estimated that the cost and time on highway location and design have been reduced by 40 to 90 per cent, and this method of locating results in better locations and designs. The methods by which aerial photographs and contour maps are produced are outlined below.
Aerial Photography
Aerial photography consists of taking pictures parallel to the ground surface by means of an airplane and an aerial camera for the coverage desired and at the proper elevation for the desired finished map scale. This division uses an Aero-Commander airplane and a Wild aerial camera, which is considered by most States and commercial firms as an ideal combination for aerial mapping at altitudes less than fifteen thousand feet.
Aerial photography is limited each day to the amount of suitable, clear weather without clouds. The time suitable for photography each day is limited to three or four hours, which means the operation of the plane for picture purposes is usually about 80 days a year. The fuel capacity of the plane enables the mapping crew to continue working through the best portion of the day without having to land for refueling. The cruising speed of the plane is 197 miles per hour with 70 per cent of its power at ten thousand feet. The Wild automatic camera weighs 320 pounds, thereby limiting the passenger capacity of the plane to a pilot, photographer and one observer.

Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is the science of making accurate line maps from aerial photography with a minimum amount of horizontal and vertical control by means of some type of stereoplotting machine. All laboratory stereo equipment is standardized and the trade name of the plotter used in the Highway Department laboratory is "Kelsh".
There are several distinct operations in the production of maps by photographic methods. The most important of these operations is selecting a general route from a study of photographs. The area is then rephotographed at an altitude to produce the final scale of the map. After tentative approval of the general route by the Bureau of Public Roads, the area to be mapped is narrowed to the width thought necessary for contour mapping. The finished contour maps are usually to a scale of one inch equals 100 feet with 2-foot contour interval, or one inch equals 200 feet with 5-foot contour interval.
The next important phase in contour mapping is obtaining ground controls. This operation is the actual measurement of horizontal distances on the ground between readily accessible points which have been predetermined from stereoscopic study of the picture, and obtaining elevations of the ground to correspond to predetermined points on the picture. For this precise work, Wild theodolites reading to one second, Zeiss self-leveling levels, and a Tellurometer are used exclusively.
Stereoplotting is also an important stage in producing photogrammetric maps. This is a method of producing line and contour maps to an accurate horizontal and vertical scale by means of a stereoplotting machine. The process of making these maps is to make a base manuscript map of the area to be mapped from a coordinate system which is based on the Transverse Mercator Projection. A grid sheet is, in effect, a checkerboard system of the State with known North, South, East and West values. The values of the known coordinate points, vertical and horizontal, obtained by ground measurements, are plotted on the manuscript grid sheet in their relative position to the coordinate system. This manuscript base sheet is then placed on the base of the- stereoplotting machine. After the area is plotted on the manuscript grid sheet, it is traced on a standard size linen sheet.. When prints of the contour maps are made they are laid

Division of Road Design
JOHN M. WILKERSON, JR. State Road Design Engineer
The Division of Road Design is responsible for the preparation of plans from the original survey notes to the final plan stage for all Federal-aid Primary and Interstate Highway projects which are located outside the urban limits of the larger municipalities. Plans are also prepared for projects utilizing Federal-aid Urban funds within the smaller cities. The Division of Road Design also has the responsibility for the coordination and general supervision of the preparation of plans for Federal-aid Secondary projects in each of the field division offices.
All plans for the $100 million reconstruction program of the Georgia State Highway Authority have been prepared by the Division of Road Design. This assignment was dovetailed into the regular work program without additional personnel. Work on plans for the Federal-aid programs, while slowed, was not materially delayed.
Design
All phases of the engineering design of each individual project are accomplished or correlated by the Division of Road Design. Included are: The types and sizes of all drainage structures; the determination of the proper roadway grades to meet the requirements for safety, drainage, speed design, economy in construction, maximum utilization of soils present in the right-of-way, and minimum right-of-way requirements; the extent of relocation and reconstruction of all utility lines affected by the project; the selection of pavement types and designs which will effect the maximum economy by utilization of natural materials available in the specific locality as well as provide the strength and stability required for the weight and volume of the anticipated traffic; the selection of lane widths, types of intersections and their detailed design; estimate of all quantities for each item of work required to completely construct the project; the assimilation, coordination and combination of all the data into a complete set of plans by which the project may be constructed; the determination of the Special Provisions required to augment the State

104

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Standard Specifications to cover special items of construction required for each project.

Electronic Computer
The computation of grades, drainage areas, earthwork quantities, slope stake notes, mass ordinates, interchange design data and many other miscellaneous mathematical problems are accomplished with the electronic computer. Use of the computer results in great savings in time and engineering talent. The availability of the computer has greatly accelerated the production of the large volume of completed plans required by the current Federalaid Primary and Interstate programs.

Photogrammetry
The Division of Road Design, coordinating with the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping, have and are continuing to develop methods of design employing the latest photogrammetric methods. This new tool is being developed primarily for use on the design of the Interstate Highway System; however, it has a tremendous potentiality and the use of photogrammetry has now been expanded to include projects on new location on the Federal-aid Primary System. The use of this newest and latest highway engineering science is effecting tremendous economies in construction costs as well as engineering manpower required for the creation of the Interstate Highway System. Georgia leads all the Southeastern States and ranks high among the States of the Nation in the degree to which it has adapted photogrammetry to the design of highways, using its own forces.

Utility Agreements
The requirements of the Bureau of Public Roads for documentation and justification of reimbursable engineering and construction costs claimed by utility owners for rearrangement of their facilities where conflicts occur on highway construction projects, and for which the State requests Federal participation, has materially increased the work required of the Division of Road Design in the accumulation of data for utility force account agreements during the two fiscal years covered by this report. All construction plans prepared by this division contain completely detailed plans for the rearrangement of each utility en-

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

105

countered on construction whether the costs for such rearrangements are, or are not, reimbursable. These plans must be in sufficient detail to support audit of final payments to each utility owner, by the Bureau of Public Roads auditors.

Reproduction
A complete plan reproduction unit is operated by the Division of Road Design. The equipment consists of two automatic blue line printing machines, and a self-developing photostat layout. Blue line prints and photostats of plans required by the Atlanta office, the field divisions, the Bureau of Public Roads, and the contractors are produced by this Department.

Contact with Other Agencies
The Division of Road Design maintains contact with the Bureau of Public Roads to assure that all matters pertaining to design conform to the Bureau's requirements and completed plans meet with their approval.
Contact is maintained with the various operating committees of the American Association of State Highway Officials, the American Road Builders Association, the Highway Resarch Board, and with the State Highway officials of other states in order that this division may keep abreast of the latest trends and developments in highway design.
Constant contact is maintained with the engineering personnel of every private utility owner, including railroads and municipally owned utilities, whose facilities come in contact with highway construction projects being designed.
Liaison is maintained with the Georgia Historical Commission and the Federal Soil Conservation Service. Layouts of locations of all projects for which plans are prepared are sent to the former agency during the design period in order that they may schedule search and recovery excavation projects for significantly historical objects in advance of the road construction.

Records
It is the responsibility of the Division of Road Design to assign project numbers to all State-aid projects and maintain permanent file records of the location of these projects. Accordingly, project numbers are assigned for all State Highway System projects,

106

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Post Road projects, projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority and the Georgia State Highway Authority, and projects performed by State forces. In addition, permanent files are maintained for all original plan tracings for all projects on which plans have been prepared since the Highway Department was created. Files and inventory records are also maintained on all field survey notebooks which are sent to the Atlanta Office.
Plans Completed
During the year ending June 30, 1961, plans were completed for 71 miles of Interstate highways and for 156 miles of roadway in 49 counties on the State Highway System. In addition, plans were prepared for 35 projects, covering 560 miles of roadway in 44 different counties, for widening and resurfacing, for the Georgia State Highway Authority. Plans were prepared also for 14 projects covering the installation of protecting devices at unsafe railroad-highway crossings.
During the year ending June 30, 1962, plans were designed for 31 miles of Interstate highways and 41 miles of roadway in 25 counties on the State Highway System. Plans were designed for 412 widening and resurfacing projects covering 6,690 miles of roadway in 152 different counties, for the Georgia State Highway Authority. Plans were also prepared for five signa! projects to protect dangerous railroad-highway crossings. These projects were for the erection of automatic flashing light signals, bells, and/or short arm gates.
As of June 30, 1962, plans were on the drawing boards in various stages of completion for 81 Federal-aid Primary projects and 30 Interstate projects, over 628 miles in length. Paving plans were also complete for 21 miles of 4-lane paving on Interstate projects which were under contract for grading and bridges only.

Di vision of Bridges
c. A. MARMELSTEIN
State Highway Bridge Engineer
Georgia's progress in bridge construction during the past few years is very much in evidence in both rural and urban areas of the State. And though the past has seen a great deal accomplished on our systems of roads and bridges, the foreseeable future indicates even greater efforts will be required.
The assignment of this division, among other things, is to prepare detailed plans, tracings of plans, and cost estimates of the various structures required as an integral part of a road system. The structure types include bridges over streams, over railroads and over highways, pedestrian overpasses, underpasses, minor drainage structures such as culverts and major retaining walls.
Surveys
The initial step in plan preparation is the determination of the bridge site. Quite frequently, aerial photographs of the area are used in determining a preliminary survey location. A location survey party makes a detailed survey of a proposed line, and forwards all data in note form to the Division of Road Design or the Division of Bridges. These notes are plotted up and show such features as alinement, ground elevations, highwater marks for specified years, water boundaries, drainage areas, stream traverses, and topography. Exploration of subsurface conditions is also made as a requirement in determining the proper type of foundation to be used. These explorations, or soundings, are made by the location party in certain cases and by a heavy sounding outfit in other cases. This outfit is equipped with floating equipment and diamond drills which will penetrate solid rock and retrieve samples.
PreUntinary VVork
When the foregoing information is received and plotted, preliminary bridge layouts are then made. Determination of bridge length and height is the first step. For a grade separation, the

108

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department 01 Georgia

total length, individual span lengths, and the height will be determined principally by horizontal and vertical clearance requirements. However, in bridging a stream crossing, particularly a major one, hydrological analysis must be used in order that the opening provided by the bridge will be sufficient to pass safely the discharge of a flood of the design frequency. Thus the length and height of this type structure are primarily determined by flood magnitude and not by the width of the stream to be crossed. The U. S. Geological Survey cooperates with the State in making these hydrological analyses. Once the overall bridge length and its height are determined, individual span lengths can be selected on an economical basis to fit existing conditions such as water boundaries, topography, etc. Before actual design begins, reference is made to traffic data furnished by the Division of Highway Planning in order that proper roadway width and load capacity will be used to meet present and anticipated traffic requirements.

Design
Final design, detailed pencil drawings, and ink tracings of these drawings follow up the preliminary work; and a cost estimate is made based upon prevailing bid prices. All detailing and design work is done by graduate engineers, or under their close, immediate supervision, applying the latest theories of structural analysis and practice. In some instances, an existing bridge can be economically widened, eliminating the need of an entirely new structure. During this biennium, structures estimated to cost $30 million were designed by this division. Design functions are organized along the squad system, and all squad leaders are college graduates, as well as Registered Professional Engineers. Twelve other college graduates, and three graduates of technical institutes comprise the bulk of the design and detailing section. All are encouraged to become registered engineers, and several do so each year.

Other Functions
Other assignments of this division are to act in a consultant capacity to the field forces who build the structures in accordance with the blueprints, insuring that the intent of the plans and specifications is carried out; to cooperate with maintenance forces in effecting repairs to older bridges; to develop an index record of all State bridges; to act in an advisory capacity relating

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

109

to questions concerning bridge load capacities and bridge clearances; and to check shop detailed drawings prepared by structural steel fabricators.
Arrangements are being made to take full advantage of all possible means of expediting the preparation of bridge plans and to speed construction. Electronic data-processing machines are used, resulting in the savings of a great many man-hours ordinarily required for the solution of problems involving complex geometric layouts, design of spans, piers, and culverts. Also, several subroutines of a lesser nature are solved by the computer for additional efficiency.

Highway Authority Projects
The Georgia State Highway Authority, which includes the former State Bridge Building Authority, will take bids for some 93 bridge projects early in the next biennium. This division will prepare plans for all of these bridges and already has completed plans for approximately 50 of these projects.

Interstate Bridges
Since its inception, bridge work on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways has been done on Interstate Routes 16 (Macon to Savannah), 20 (Birmingham to Augusta), 75 (Lake City, Florida to Chattanooga), 85 (Montgomery to Greenville), and 285 (Atlanta Circumferential Route).
During this biennium, contracts were let for 31 bridge projects covering 223 bridges on the Interstate System as follows:

Division of Urban Projects
s. P. ALLISON
State Highway Urban Engineer
The Division of Urban Projects is responsible for the preparation of plans and advancement of projects to be constructed with Federal-aid Urban funds and projects on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in urban areas of 5,000 or more population.
During the two years covered by this report, contracts have been awarded on Urban and Interstate projects in urban areas for the construction of 54.14 miles of highways, amounting to $54,370,448. These contracts include projects in the downtown Atlanta area providing connections of the east and west legs of Interstate Route 20, and the north and south legs of Interstate Route 75.
Urban Areas
The Federal-aid Highway Act of 1944, re-enacted as Title 23, United States Code, defines an "urban area" as an area including and adjacent to a municipality or other urban place of 5,000 or more, as shown by the latest Federal census. For this purpose, the term "latest available Federal census" means the latest published. official census, decennial or special.
The Act provided that the boundaries of urban areas would be fixed by the highway department of each State, subject to the approval of the Bureau of Public Roads. Each area has to include at least the incorporated area of the municipality but may extend outside the corporate limits to include areas which are urban in character. Satellite communities, such as city suburbs in a metropolitan area, may be included regardless of size. Thus, by the establishment of these urban areas, highway planning for the whole community without regard to corporate boundaries and political subdivisions is being facilitated.
Based upon reports prepared by the Division of Highway Planning, urban area boundaries have been fixed and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads for all places classified as urban areas, according to the 1960 census. The 52 urban areas in Georgia are listed below. Atlanta includes East Point, College Park,

Federal-aid Urban funds may be expended only on the extensions of the Federal-aid Primary and Secondary Systems within the established urban areas. Regulations permit approval only of projects that increase the traffic capacity of streets or roads in urban areas to the extent of at least one additional lane of traffic. Minor street improvements, repaving, and other work inside curb lines are not eligible for the expenditure of Urban funds.
As more fully explained under the Division of Highway Planning section of this report, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 provides that after July 1, 1965, a Federal-aid project in an urban area of more than fifty thousand population shall not

114

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

be approved by the Bureau of Public Roads unless such project is based on a continuing comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooperatively by the State Highway Department and the local communities. The six cities in Georgia in this category are Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah.
Electronic Computer
The Division of Urban Projects has continued to make use of the electronic computer, operated in the Division of Finance and Audits. This division maintains direct liaison with the computer center and has instituted the use of various programs which make it possible to obtain accurate computations which effect savings of many man-hours and accomplish improved highway designs.
Use of Contour Maps
The contour maps prepared by the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping have been used extensively by this division and have been of inestimable value in the preparation of preliminary plans, right-of-way plans and final construction plans.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

115

Division of Contracts and Estimates
T. D. SPENCE State Highway Office Engineer
The Division of Contracts and Estimates is responsible for the preparation and processing of documents pertaining to the construction of projects under the various programs established by the Highway Department. When the plans for a project are completed and approved, they are turned over to this division to carry out the remaining steps leading to the final completion of the construction work. These steps consist of the preparation of detailed estimates and sample proposals, which must be approved by the Bureau of Public Roads in the case of projects involving Federal funds, except Federal-aid Secondary projects. When the necessary approvals are obtained, notices to contractors are prepared and on instructions of the State Highway Board such notices are mailed to the legal organs of the various counties in which the projects are located. These notices specify the dates on which bids will be received and set out detailed quantities of all items comprising the project.
Bids and Contracts
On the date established in the notices, bids are opened in the presence of the State Highway Board and the complete results later tabulated so that the correct low bidder can be ascertained. When the low bids are approved by the State Highway Board on State-aid and Federal-aid Secondary projects, and by the State Highway Board and the Bureau of Public Roads on projects involving Federal funds other than secondary, the contract and bond are prepared for execution by the contractor, bonding company, and the State Highway Board. When the contracts have been executed completely, this office authorizes construction and prepares detailed estimates for auditing monthly statements in favor of the contractors and detailed estimates upon which the project agreements with the Bureau of Public Roads are based for projects involving Federal funds.
Monthly Statements
In accordance with the specifications governing construction work, the field division offices submit monthly statements cover-

116

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

ing work accomplished on which payments to the contractors should be made. These statements are audited and then passed for payment to the Division of Finance and Audits. The Division of Contracts and Estimates is entirely responsible for the correctness of these statements. Upon completion of a project, the field division office submits the final statement, with complete details attached. This entire final statement is then audited, including alI the tabulations and computations, to verify the quantities as shown on the face of the statement. In case of projects involving Federal funds, both the monthly and final vouchers on which claim is made for reimbursement from the Federal Government are prepared and submitted to the Bureau of Public Roads for audit and payment.

Change Orders
This division is responsible for the proper handling of alI changes that may occur in connection with the proper construction of the project. Contingencies frequently arise that could not be foreseen when the plans were prepared, and this division is responsible for the proper approval of such changes. These changes are handled by change orders or construction changes or supplemental agreements. In cases where it is impracticable to establish unit prices for supplemental agreements, the work is done by force account and the force account bills are handled through this office for approval. On projects involving Federal funds, approval of the Bureau of Public Roads is obtained for the changes occurring during construction, so that the Federal Government will participate in. the increased cost due to such changes.
Liaison with Public Utilities
Two employees of this division-the Highway Agent (Utilities Liaison) and the Utilities Liaison Agent-are assigned separate but related duties in connection with the work of the Highway Department in which railroads and public utility companies are involved.
The Highway Agent (Utilities Liaison) is responsible for the preparation and execution of force account agreements where railroad and utility owners have facilities in conflict with highway projects. On railway-highway grade separation projects, agreements for construction and special provisions for insurance are prepared and submitted to the railroads for execu-

tion before bids are received on the projects. Before construction is authorized, the necessary protective insurance policies are procured from the contractor and submitted to the railroad for acceptance. Evidence of renewal of the insurance is also obtained as no work can be performed on railroad right-of-way without proper insurance in force at all times. On projects for the installation of grade crossing protective devices, construction and maintenance agreements with the railroads are prepared. After execution, the agreements are submitted to the Bureau of Public Roads for approval, as generally 10 per cent of the cost of these projects are paid by the railroad and 90 per cent by the Federal Government.
The Utilities Liaison Agent coordinates the work of the Highway Department in which public utility companies are involved. He cooperates with the Division of Road Design, the Division of Urban Projects, and the field division offices in obtaining estimates of costs and plans for relocation of facilities in conflict with highway construction. He reviews estimates submitted to determine if they have been prepared in accordance with existing procedures, rules and regulations. Change orders relative to utility and railroad work are prepared. Statements for payment by the Highway Department are processed, and those statements which are to be paid with 100 per cent State funds are audited, including an examination of the records of the railroad or utility company to determine whether such statements are properly substantiated, before payment is made.

Office Equipment and Supplies
The Assistant State Highway Office Engineer, in addition to serving as the principal assistant to the State Highway Office Engineer, is responsible also for the general direction of the Office Equipment and Supplies Unit, which is under the immediate supervision of the Supervisor of Supplies.
This unit prepares requisitions for office supplies and equipment, drafting equipment and engineering supplies, and accepts or rejects purchased items as meeting or not meeting the specifications set forth on requisitions. Supplies and equipment are received, stored and issued on requisitions from the divisions in the General Office and the field divisions. Perpetual inventory records are maintained. A complete inventory has been made of all office equipment and furniture and each piece has been

Division of Right-of-Way
C. A. CURTIS State Highway Right-oJ-Way Engineer
The functions of the Division of Right-of-Way are to administer the acquisition of right-of-way for all State and Federal-aid projects, to maintain adequate records on right-of-way costs and all other items necessary to support State reimbursement claims to U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, and to determine the eligibility of and to process claims for State reimbursement received from counties and cities acting as acquisition agencies for the State. Other major responsibilities are to maintain complete and permanent records of all documents relating to land acquisition and transactions pertaining thereto, to work with the Legal Division and other divisions of the Highway Department in clearing existing encroachments from the right-of-way and preventing further encroachments, and to work in conjunction with the State Supervisor of Purchases in disposing of all surplus improvements and excess realty acquired along with the required right-of-way.
Organization
The Division of Right-of-Way consists of a General Office Section under the direction of the State Highway Right-of-Way Engineer and a Right-of-Way Section in each of the six field divisions headed by an Assistant Field Division Engineer in charge of Right-of-Way. All appraisals, payments and reimbursements are processed through the General Office Section where liaison with Bureau of Public Roads and all permanent records are maintained. Personnel in the field division Rightof-Way Sections handle the actual procedure of right-of-way acquisition as a field function by working with and assisting the counties and cities acting as acquisition agencies. The field division Right-of-Way Section works under the direct authority of the Field Division Engineer; however, these right-of-way units work and collaborate very closely with Right-of-Way personnel in the General Office.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Changes in Procedure-New Laws
Practically all rights-of-way acquired by the State with State funds are for Federal-aid projects in which Federal funds participate in varying degrees. This right-of-way must be acquired under procedures acceptable to the Bureau of Public Roads in order for the State to secure reimbursement for the Federal pro rata share. Public Roads requirements are constantly being modified and the State's procedures must be adjusted to comply if conflicts exist. During this biennium changes have been minor and have involved principally refinement in the appraisal procedure.
State laws are also major factors in governing right-of-way acquisition procedure. During the 1960 session, the General Assembly proposed an amendment to the Georgia Constitution which would permit the General Assembly to modify existing eminent domain laws. This amendment was ratified by the voters, and at the 1961 session the General Assembly passed an enabling Act (House Bill 292) which provided an optional procedure for use in eminent domain. The constitutionality of the law was attacked and the case carried to the Supreme Court of Georgia where a decision was rendered declaring several aspects of the Act and the method of application to be unconstitutional. The special session of the General Assembly, convening during September of 1962, reconsidered the original Act and made such amendments as to comply with the Supreme Court ruling. The method of condemnation as authorized by this Act is now being used frequently when it is considered necessary to expedite rightof-way acquisition.
Interstate Syster.n
Right-of-way acquisition and construction for the Interstate System have progressed during this biennium at a very satisfactory rate. Through June 30, 1962, right-of-way has been secured for 385 miles on the Interstate System or approximately 35 per cent of the total of 1,103 miles of the System in Georgia. Probably the most advanced Interstate route in the State is 1-75 from the Florida line through Macon and Atlanta to the Tennessee line at Chattanooga. Right-of-way acquisition is complete and construction contracts have been awarded for approximately 65 per cent of this entire route. Completion of Interstate Route 85, from Atlanta to Greenville, is also progressing rapidly with 75 per cent of the right-of-way having been acquired. It is antici-

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

131

pated that this section of Route 85 will all be under contract during 1962. The Interstate System in the Atlanta area is now over the hump with right-of-way having been acquired for all routes radiating from the city to the Fulton County line, with the exception of a leg of 1-85 from the Circumferential Route to the Coweta County line. The Circumferential Route 1-285 is also well underway with approximately 50 per cent of the right-ofway having been acquired to date. No actual right-of-way acquisition has been initiated for Interstate Route 95 from Savannah through Brunswick to the Florida line and work has just gotten underway on Interstate Route 16 from Macon to Savannah.
Very few changes have been made recently in the procedure for acquiring Interstate right-of-way except for minor refinements in the appraisal procedure and several adjustments to conform with Public Roads requirements. The counties and cities still act as agents for the Highway Department in the actual acquisition procedure. All expenditures by the acquisition agencies are reimbursed by the State except negotiation and legal fees and court costs. The Federal Government participates in this reimbursement cost on a basis of 90 per cent.
A total of 179 miles of Interstate right-of-way, consisting of 1,986 parcels on 32 different projects and costing $15,237,532, has been acquired during this biennium. This represents an increase in mileage but a slight decrease in cost over the previous two-year period which can be explained by the fact that more work has been done recently in rural areas where land values and property damages are not as high as in the heavily populated urban areas.

Right-of-Way [or Federal-aid Primary Projects
During this biennium, right-of-way was acquired for 197 miles on the Federal-aid Primary System, consisting of 52 projects containing 1,520 parcels, at a total cost of $4,462,114. This included Urban projects on extensions of the Primary System in urban areas.
The procedure in acquiring right-of-way for Primary projects is similar in most respects to that used for the Interstate System except that the counties and cities participate to a greater extent. The counties or cities, depending on the location of the project, act through contractual agreement with the State to furnish a certain percentage of the actual right-of-way cost

132

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

along with all miscellaneous services in connection with the right-of-way acquisition.

Right-of-Way on Secondary Roads
The State and Federal governments seldom participate in the cost of right-of-way for Federal-aid Secondary roads. The acquisition of right-of-way for these projects, as well as Post Roads, is a responsibility of the counties. The right-of-way for projects on the State Highway System is secured by the counties in the name of the State Highway Department and for projects not on the State System, the right-of-way is secured in the name of the county. Normally the counties are able to secure this rightof-way at a very reasonable cost as roads in this category are usually beneficial to the individual property owners and they are extremely interested in promoting such projects.
The width of right-of-way required for secondary-type highways, which usually carry a low to moderate traffic volume, is 80 to 130 feet, with the greater width being secured for roads with potentially higher future traffic volumes. If Federal-aid funds are involved in the construction of a secondary-type project, the right-of-way is subject to Federal regulations which require that it be maintained free of encroachments in order for the State to collect the Federal pro rata share of the construction cost. During this biennium, 3,561 parcels of right-of-way and easements have been secured on 586 miles of 127 Federal-aid Secondary projects. Right-of-way has also been acquired and processed for 182 miles of Post Roads projects.

Rural Roads Authority Projects
Rural Roads Authority funds are now limited and projects being financed under this Authority have been extremely curtailed to utilize the available funds. During this biennium, rightof-way was secured for only 240 such projects. Right-of-way for projects in this classification is obtained by the county in which the project is located, without cost to the State, and is deeded directly to the Authority. The right-of-way is acquired by the county on blanket deeds and usually at a very minimum of cost, as the people in the rural areas served by these roads are generally willing to donate the right-of-way in exchange for the benefits provided. The Division of Right-of-Way assists the counties in preparation of deeds, title certificates and other allied

Twenty-Nznth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

133

documents, submits these documents to the Authority after checking for accuracy and conformity with plans and regulations, and maintains permanent files of documents and records for all projects.
Surplus Property Disposal
During recent years the State in purchasing right-of-way has come into possession of all types of improvements located on the land acquired. These improvements consist principally of dwellings and commercial buildings; however, timber products, nursery stock, and in a few instances equipment and machinery have been acquired with the right-of-way. In purchasing rightof-way on which improvements are located, the State will relocate these improvements for the owner on adjacent land if it is economically feasible to do so; however, if the owner is not agreeable to this, the improvements must be purchased with the right-of-way. Georgia law requires that State surplus property be disposed of by offering said property for sale by advertising and accepting sealed bids, the property going to the high bidder. This procedure is carried out by requesting the Governor to issue an Executive Order authorizing the sale. The actual advertising and acceptance of bids is handled by the State Supervisor of Purchases. Bids are examined by Right-ofWay personnel and recommendations as to awards are made to the Supervisor of Purchases. Final acceptance is authorized by the Supervisor of Purchases and the State Highway Board, with personnel of the Division of Right-of-Way handling all final transactions with the successful bidders.
During this biennium, surplus improvements, mostly buildings, consisting of 580 items on 38 projects, have been sold for a total proceeds of $245,266.97. This represents a total recovery of from 3 to 5 per cent of the appraised value. In some instances recovery may be as low as one per cent whereas under favorable conditions where the buildings can be relocated at a reasonable cost the recovery may be as much as 20 per cent. Occasionally buildings are in such poor condition that no sale can be made and disposal must be handled as a clearing item by the construction contractor.

Land Economic Study
During September of 1961, the Division of Right-of-Way, in cooperation with the Division of Highway Planning and the

134

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Bureau of Public Roads, initiated a research project involving land economic studies, which is being financed with Federal-aid 1:lh per cent planning and research funds. The study to date has involved principally the history of sales of remainders resulting from right-of-way takings for limited-access Interstate highways. The purpose of these studies is to determine the economic influence of multilane, limited-access highways on adjacent properties, both at and in between interchange areas. It is hoped that information derived from these studies will be beneficial from the standpoint of negotiation and in the preparation of appraisals, and also as evidence in future condemnation trials. The studies completed to date seem to indicate that the value of land along Interstate highways, particularly at interchange areas near urban areas, is materially enhanced by the construction of these high-type, limited-access highways.

Control and Protection of Right-of-Way
The problem of maintaining the State Highway rights-of-way free of encroachments during the period represented by this report has not diminished. In fact, renewed efforts have been exerted in removing existing encroachments and stricter vigilance has been exercised by personnel assigned to all divisions of the Highway Department to prevent further encroachments. This attitude concerning encroachments is due to the fact that Highway Department officials realize that, with the expanded highway program, right-of-way infested with all types of encroachments creates a difficult and expensive maintenance problem. The encroachments increase driving hazards, endanger public safety, destroy the esthetics of the highway, and illegally permit private use of public property. In addition to the above, the Bureau of Public Roads' policies and directives are very clear in their declaration that the right-of-way provided for Federalaid highway projects shall be held inviolate for public highway purposes.
In 1951, the State Highway Board adopted Rules and Regulations for the Control and Protection of State Highway Rightsof-Way, which were printed in booklet form and given wide distribution. These rules and regulations provide for the issuance of permits for the construction of commercial entrances, grading and landscaping of the right-of-way, the erection of overhead utility pole lines, underground installations, and the construction of spur tracks crossing a State highway at grade. No permit is

required for the construction of private driveways 20 feet or less in width. Special stipulations cover the construction of drive-in theaters, and require that plans of the development be submitted to the State Highway Department for inspection and approval before construction is begun.
Applications for permits for permissible encroachments on the State Highway right-of-way originate in the field division offices, with appropriate recommendations by the Field Division Engineer, and are forwarded to the General Office for approval by the State Highway Engineer.
The public is gradually being educated to respect the integrity of the highway right-of-way and has in general been very cooperative with Highway Department personnel in removing existing encroachments and preventing further violations. Encroachments usually consist of temporary sheds, stockpiling materials, parking for business purposes, advertising signs, and servicing customers on the right-of-way. Occasionally permanenttype structures are constructed on the right-of-way before they are detected by Highway Department personnel. These are generally the most difficult cases to clear and in some instances require legal action by the Attorney General's office. In most cases it is found that encroachments are due to ignorance of the law or lack of knowledge of the right-of-way limits and the violators, when properly approached, will clear the right-of-way without difficulty.

Division of Construction
C. W. LEFTWICH State Highway Construction Engineer
The responsibilities of the Division of Construction include making Plans, Specifications and Estimate inspections of proposed projects, the design of rest areas along the highways, and the supervision of construction. The circumferential Interstate route around Atlanta, the Atlanta Freeway, and the projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority are not under the supervision of this division. The Division of Materials and Tests is under the general supervision of the State Highway Construction Engineer.
Preliminary Plans
The Division of Construction cooperates in the preparation of plans, coordinating with the Division of Road Design, the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping, and the Division of Rightof-Way during the location and plan preparation. Liaison is maintained by the State Highway Construction Engineer between the field offices and the affected divisions in the General Office wherever and whenever necessary. Liaison is also maintained with the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads in matters pertaining to the review of preliminary and final plans. Effective work in this function can and does result in acceleration of plan production, savings in man-hours and cost of plan production.
P. S. and E. Inspection
When plan preparation has reached a point where further work in the Division of Design is impractical without risking duplication of effort or wasting of man-hours until all questions which have arisen are resolved between the various divisions of the Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads (on Federal-aid projects), the incomplete plans are delivered to the Division of Construction for field inspection. This inspection is made by the State Highway Construction Engineer or his designated assistant in company with a representative of the field division office, a representative of the Bureau of Public Roads (on Federal-aid projects) and representatives of any other di-

138

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

visions deemed advisable. Detailed inspection on the site of the work is made and compared with the plans. A report is prepared and distributed to all affected divisions or agencies in which all questions at this time are resolved and a definite course of action established. Additions and/or deletions to the preliminary plans which the inspecting party deem advisable are included in the report. With this report in hand, all divisions and agencies can proceed in a uniform manner to complete the plans, specifications, right-of-way acquisition, and preparation of estimates and contract documents required to advertise the project for bids.

Revised Specifications
This division is now in the process of making complete revision of the 1956 Standard Specifications, which will include the supplemental specifications and special provisions in use up to date.

Georgia Highway Authority Reconstruction Projects
This division has cooperated with the Division of Maintenance in the implementation of the reconstruction projects financed by bond issue of the Georgia State Highway Authority. The Construction Division has made the plans, surveys and estimate inspections with representatives of the other divisions who are concerned with the program and has supervised the construction of these protects. All of this activity has been coordinated very carefully with the Division of Maintenance, as that division is responsible for the expenditure of the funds entering into the reconstruction projects.

Procurement of Supplies
This division is responsible for the processing of all requisitions received from the Central Laboratory and from the Aerial Laboratory, as well as the requisitions originating in the Division of Construction. An accurate record is kept of these requisitions and every effort is made to expedite the delivery of supplies as requested by these divisions of the State Highway Department.

Interstate Project Payrolls
This division is responsible for the examination of all payrolls on Interstate projects to insure that the laborers and mechanics are being paid the wages predetermined by the Secretary of

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

139

Labor, as contained in each contract. When a classification has not been set up for any particular employee, then it is the function of this division to secure from the Department of Labor in Washington the proper classification as to wages for this employee.
A complete payroll record, by weeks, is maintained on each Interstate project and when the final statement is presented for payment, it is the function of this division to certify that payrolls have been submitted for each week during the life of the contract.
Construction Inspection
When a contract has been let and construction authorized, the State Highway Construction Engineer and his assistants make periodic inspections of the contractor's work. These inspections continue throughout the period of construction and until the job is finally completed and accepted by the State, at which time the Division of Maintenance is notified that the road is to be taken over for future maintenance. One important objective of these inspections is to insure uniform interpretation and application of the specifications in the six field divisions. On projects involving Federal Aid, inspections referred to above are often made in company with an engineer from the Bureau of Public Roads. On final inspections for acceptance of the project from the contractor, the State Highway Construction Engineer, or his representative, is accompanied by the representative of the field division office and on Federal-aid projects by a representative of the Bureau of Public Roads.
The State Highway Construction Engineer reviews change orders and supplemental agreements proposing changes from the approved plans, also force account bills and claims, recommending approval or disapproval.
This division, through reports from the field, keeps a record of each construction job, showing the date work was authorized, the date construction was started, monthly record of progress and per cent completed, date of completion and date of final acceptance.

Rest Areas on Interstate Highway System
Five rest areas on Interstate Highway 75, in Lowndes, Cook and Dooly Counties, have been completed and opened to the

public. All of these rest areas have a deep well, motor-driven water supply, including drinking fountains and hydrants, redwood shelters, tables, grills and parking spaces. Three others have been finished, but without any of the necessary facilities for the comfort of travelers. These facilities were omitted because the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads no longer pays any part of their cost.
Eight other rest areas, with facilities limited to mere parking space, are under construction. Two of the rest areas under construction are to be converted to welcome stations, by order of the Governor, who has provided funds for construction of an attractive building at each place, with water supply, sewerage, office, and rest spaces. It is expected that means will be found to erect tables, grills and shelters at these locations. The welcome stations are to be on Interstate Highway 75, just inside the Tennessee State line, in Catoosa County, and on Interstate Highway 85, just inside the South Carolina State line, in Hart County, in view of the recently completed Lake Hartwell.

Division of Materials and Tests
C. W. LEFTWICH State Highway Construction Engineer
W. F. ABERCROMBIE State Highway Materials Engineer
The Division of Materials and Tests is under the direct supervision of the State Highway Materials Engineer. This division is under the general direction of the State Highway Construction Engineer, who is also in charge of the Division of Construction and coordinates the work of the two divisions.
The Division of Materials and Tests participates in close cooperation with other divisions of the Highway Department in various phases of the building of highways. This division is involved from the design stage to final completion and acceptance of a project.
Design Phase
The division begins work on a project when the Soil Survey and Bridge Foundation Sections make preliminary studies to determine the basic soil and rock conditions for preparation of the plans. Soil survey data are used as guides in establishing typical sections and grade line. Information from the Bridge Foundation Section is necessary for design of bridge foundations. During this biennium, 1,172 miles of soil survey were made with 17,096 samples taken for analysis from a total of 203,000 feet drilled. The Bridge Foundation Section investigated a total of 196 bridge sites during this period, drilling 80,478 feet through soil and 1,713 feet of rock in obtaining 7,150 samples for analysis.
Samples of probable sources of local materials and aggregates are submitted to the Laboratory for analysis and design studies of portland cement stabilized bases, bituminous stabilized bases, asphaltic concrete and portland cement concrete pavements. Information from these analyses and design studies is used in the evaluation of final section design, quantities and economies of a project.
The Geology Section investigates, in conjunction with the Soil Survey Section, the type and location of rock formations and

144

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

probable areas of potential landslide problems. Investigations are also made of landslide occurrences as to corrective actions.
Construction Phase
This division maintains close liaison with other divisions, particularly with the field forces, during the construction phase of a project. After a contract is let and the contractor selects the materials he will use, actual designs are made on base course mixtures, asphaltic concrete and portland cement concrete.
The Asphaltic Concrete Section supervises all central mixing plants. This supervision begins with an inspection by a mechanical technologist to determine the working condition of the plant. All scales used on a project are checked for mechanical condition and calibrated for accuracy by a crew with a specially equipped weight truck. During this biennium, this scale crew traveled approximately 44,000 miles in calibrating 458 scales. After the mechanical inspection and scales calibration, trained specialists are assigned to the project to calibrate the plant and supervise production of the materials being produced. After the plant is operating properly, these specialists return at periodic intervals to check the overall operation and assist the field personnel in any problems which may arise. These plant inspectors have calibrated approximately 520 plants during this period. In addition to these operations, this section operates three mobile laboratory trucks equipped to core, and analyze base and pavement materials. The portable laboratories spot check, on irregular intervals, all projects.
The Portland Cement Concrete Section designs mixes of proper proportions after the contractor selects materials to be used. With the continuing utilization of ready-mix concrete on projects, extensive study has been made in developing and using retarding agents to prolong the "set" in concrete. In addition, a program of rating of ready-mix plants according to equipment and personnel has been instituted during this period. Trained personnel inspect the ready-mix plants for compliance with the Standard Specifications and administer examinations to their personnel. The plant is then rated according to its capabilities for producing acceptable concrete. A definite improvement in quality has been noted since conception of this program. In addition, this section provides personnel for assistance with any problems encountered concerning concrete.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

The Inspection Section inspects materials at the point of manufacture and after delivery of those specialty items such as pipe, paints, steel, signs, etc. During this biennium, this section inspected approximately 1,700,000 pounds of steel, 44,000 gallons of paint and 1,437,000 feet of pipe.
During the construction phase of a project, Central Laboratory in Atlanta, along with its six branch laboratories (one in each field division), does routine testing of the physical and chemical properties of materials. While the Division of Materials and Tests is generally thought of as an organization for routine testing, this is only one of many functions of the division as shown by the other many descriptive duties. The tabulation below shows the number of samples tested by this division during this biennium.

The Record Sampling Section was established at the beginning of this biennium upon directive by the Bureau of Public Roads. This section has the responsibility for sampling and testing, on a random basis, the materials used in construction of all Federal-aid projects to verify that the work was done in strict compliance with the plans and specifications. Samples of materials and thickness measurements of the various courses are taken during and at completion of a project by one of several representatives of the Central Laboratory. Results of this work are certified as to the conformance to the plans and specifications prior to final acceptance by the Bureau of Public Roads.

Post Roads Division
All rural mail routes not on the State Highway System are classified as Post Roads. Farm-to-market roads are also constructed under the Post Road program, so that generally the term "Post Roads" includes all roads not on the State Highway System. The improvement of these roads by the Highway Department is financed with 100 per cent State funds or with Federal-aid Secondary funds which are 50 per cent Federal and 50 per cent State. The roads and bridges constructed by the Georgia Rural Roads Authority are financed by bond funds, as outlined in a previous section of this report.
During the two years ending June 30, 1962, the Highway Department awarded contracts for improvements on Post Roads not on the State Highway System amounting to over $27 million. These contracts covered 229 miles of grading, 58 miles of grading and base, 146 miles of base, 1,241 miles of bituminous surfacing, 18 miles of resurfacing, and 5 miles of widening and resurfacing, making a total of 1,697 miles of roadway improvements. These contracts also covered the construction of 143 bridges, 3.782 miles in length.
A detailed tabulation of the projects placed under contract is presented elsewhere in this report, and a summary is given below.

Division of Maintenance
J. O. BACON State Highway Maintenance Engineer
The functions of the Division of Maintenance consist of constant preservation and maintenance of all roads and bridges on the State Highway System, including the administration and supervision of all affiliated activities required for this purpose. The ultimate aim of this division is to economically maintain all of the highway facilities in the same or in better condition than that which existed at the time they were constructed or incorporated into the State Highway System, and to make such improvements or betterments in the system as can be accomplished within budgetary allotments for maintenance and reconstruction by maintenance forces.
It is impossible to list in this report all of the details and accomplishments of the Division of Maintenance according to their relative importance. In order to render maximum service to the traveling public, this division is subdivided into various units under General Office control for efficiency of operations. These units, their functions, and a brief synopsis of their activities are listed below.
General
The central office of the Division of Maintenance is located in the General Offices in Atlanta and is under the general administration and supervision of the State Highway Maintenance Engineer. His staff consists of an assistant, a property control officer, a landscape engineer, clerical and stenographic personnel, and six maintenance engineers, each of whom acts in an advisory capacity in administration and supervision of maintenance activities in each of the field divisions.
There are six field divisions, each under the direction of a Field Division Engineer, who supervises both construction and maintenance. The functions of the field divisions are outlined elsewhere in this report.
Georgia State Highway Authority Bond Program
During the early part of the calendar year 1959, conferences were held in the General Office of the State Highway Department

152

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

among the State Highway Maintenance Engineer, the State Highway Engineer and the State Highway Board Members regarding the deterioration of numerous sections of paved roadway on the State System. As a result of these conferences, it was determined that these roads could not be satisfactorily patched and resurfaced under the then existing limited maintenance budget. As a result, the State Highway Board authorized an engineer, formerly a Field Division Engineer, to proceed with the survey of all paved roads on the system.
The Condition Survey was begun in April 1959, and was completed in December 1960. There were approximately 16,000 miles of roads on the State System at the beginning of the survey, of which approximately 8,417 miles were on the Federal-aid Primary System and 7,583 miles were on the Federal-aid Secondary System. This survey was made to determine by visual inspection a separate category for the varying degree of deterioration of either or both the base and surfacing. The categories were broken into four classifications, namely: (1) Those in poor condition, needing immediate resurfacing; (2) Those in fair condition, needing resurfacing within one year; (3) Those that were in average or good condition which would require resurfacing within two to three years; and (4) Those that were in excellent condition which might not need resurfacing in less than a threeyear period and probably longer.
The above-mentioned survey, covering the whole network, required a travel distance of 73,000 miles. Upon completion of the field survey, a statewide map was prepared by the Division of Maintenance for presentation to the State Highway Engineer and the Highway Board showing, in colors, the various classifications of deterioration as outlined above, from which a cost estimate was also prepared showing that it would require approximately $100 million to restore the existing surfaces to a satisfactory condition. At that time the survey showed that approximately 3,039 miles of paved mileage on the Federal-aid Primary System needed resurfacing and 3,265 miles on the Federal-aid Secondary System needed resurfacing, making a total of 6,304 miles in immediate need of resurfacing. By applying a cost formula separately to those roads which needed widening and resurfacing, to those roads which needed heavy reinforcement with plant mix surfacing, and to those roads which required patching and resurfacing with surface treatment, the $100 million figure was ob-

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

153

tained. The cost estimate was broken down by mileage on various routes of the State.
When all of these data were compiled and presented to the Highway Board, it was determined too expensive a program to be undertaken even under an increased maintenance budget. The Highway Board and the State Highway Maintenance Engineer, therefore, presented this matter to the Governor with the idea of passing legislation to create an authority for bond financing of a resurfacing program. The Governor then held numerous conferences with Legislators, newspaper representatives, and other public officials regarding the reaction of the public to issuance of bonds for the necessary improvements. The reaction by all concerned was highly favorable.
As a consequence of the above deliberations and conferences, the General Assembly, in its regular 1961 session, received a recommendation from the Governor for creation of a Georgia State Highway Authority and issuance of $100 million in bonds. The General Assembly in turn then passed Senate Bill No. 1 and House Bill No.1, creating this Authority and naming the State Highway Board members as members of the Georgia State Highway Authority, with power to sell the bonds and let the necessary work to contract by competitive bidding. Further information concerning the Georgia State Highway Authority is presented in another section of this report.
As a result of the aforementioned action by the General Assembly, bonds were issued and sold in three increments, the first being for $30 million, the next two increments consisting of $35 million each.
The Division of Maintenance was assigned the responsibility for programming of the bond projects and establishing a system of controls governing the expenditure of the bond funds. The responsibility for engineering supervision and quality of work was assigned to the Construction Division, working under the State Highway Engineer in the same manner as is exercised on all other types of construction projects. The design and preparation of plans were assigned to the State Road Design Engineer and his employees.
The first letting of contracts was held on July 27, 1961, and with the exception of three projects, all of the remaining contracts were let in the interim between July 27, 1961 and August

9, 1962. By making conservative detailed estimates and by awarding the contracts on a competitive basis, the program provided construction on 446 projects consisting of 3,816 miles of Federalaid Primary roads and 3,434 miles of Federal-aid Secondary roads, making a total of 7,250 miles programmed and let to contract. It is anticipated that the actual construction cost will underrun the original funds programmed which will probably make additional funds available during the next biennium for award of additional reconstruction and resurfacing in a supplemental program.
Records of the field divisions show status of the reconstruction projects on June 30, 1962 as follows:

This reconstruction program has progressed so rapidly that favorable comments have been made in newspaper articles, by Georgia residents and numerous out-of-State travelers, as indicated by letters received both by the Highway Authority and by the Division of Maintenance.
Highway Property Control
On July 21, 1960 the office of Highway Property Control Officer was established and placed under the direct supervision of the State Highway Maintenance Engineer. The first function of this office was to institute the taking of property inventories of all patrol sections and special outfits throughout the State. A surplus of many items such as hand tools, tires, batteries, etc., was discovered and placed back in the central stocks located in the division shops.
A controlled method of issue, together with an item-for-item swap system for the replacement of worn-out or broken tools

156

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

and parts, was instituted which has resulted in a great reduction in the cost and necessity for replacement of these items. These inventories are rechecked at irregular intervals to prevent stockpiling of surplus tools and parts within these units.
Inventories of spare parts and tools were then made in each division shop, including the Douglas shop. Uniform systems of perpetual inventory, stock control and locator methods were established throughout the State. A uniform system of reordering spare parts and hand tools was also instituted. This system is based on consumption experience and has greatly reduced the size of inventories in the various installations of the State Highway Department.
A new method of recording the daily work and cost records of all equipment used by the Highway Department was established. These records are entered daily on a designated form, which is a small book covering the period of one month, and is kept with the vehicle or equipment at all times. At the end of the month this book is turned into the division office and a new book for the ensuing month is issued. The information in the daily record is transferred by division personnel to a yearly record book. This record is retained for each year during the life of the piece of equipment. The daily records are retained as long as deemed necessary by the Field Division Engineer. The policies and procedures as described above are quite involved. They require constant checking and instruction. Due to the enormity of the plan, all of the facets thereof are not yet operating at maximum efficiency, but it is anticipated that by January 1964, the entire plan will be routinely operational.

Regular Maintenance
The Field Division Engineers and their maintenance assistants have superintendents and foremen assigned to them to perform work on specific sections of highway. Patrolmen are responsible for normal maintenance of these specific sections of roads and the bridges thereon. This regular maintenance consists of machining dirt roads, patching failures in pavements, filling in shoulders on roads, maintaining adequate drainage on roads, policing the right-of-way, and the erection and maintenance of warning and directional signs.

At the outset of the program, it was necessary to solicit and procure the help of public-spirited citizens, civic clubs, garden clubs and other organizations to acquire the necessary land on which to construct the roadside parks. Since the use of public funds is prohibited for the improvement of private property, the assistance of these groups was very helpful in securing deeds, long-term leases, and easements to sites that were suitable for roadside parks development. As a consequence, numerous letters were written to interested citizens and organizations outlining rules and regulations governing procedures necessary for legal acquisition of the park sites. This program was begun as a friendly gesture to all out-of-State visitors and to local travelers, inviting them to stop, use the roadside parks' facilities, relax, enjoy the scenic beauty, and proceed on their trip through the State, rested, and thus present no menace to other motorists by becoming tired and falling asleep at the wheel of the automobile. A great many parks were constructed very rapidly and placed in immediate use. Since the beginning of the program, 221 parks have been completed and opened to the public, 33 of these parks having been constructed during this biennium.
These roadside parks are now being used by many thousands of visitors annually. These parks have been constructed for primary use as a rest stop for the traveling public and, therefore, no trading or soliciting of any kind is allowed in the parks. No overnight parking or camping is allowed. Normally these parks do not provide playground equipment for children but in rare instances local citizens have provided such facilities. These parks do provide tables and benches for eating purposes, grills for cooking, garbage cans, driveways, and directional signs at intervals along State routes guiding the traveler to the rest stop.
Roadside parks are constructed by maintenance forces under supervision of one of the six field division engineers in whose division the park may be located. The construction includes grading, drainage, grassing, driveways, fencing, selective clearing of the land, erection of tables and grills. The parks are maintained by maintenance patrolmen. These parks are inspected periodically by personnel of the Roadside Parks Unit and reports are furnished periodically to the division office as to the condition of the various parks. Usually the patrolmen clean these parks at least twice a week.

The roadside parks vary in size, depending upon the amount of land acquired and upon the topography of the land adjoining the roadway where the parks are constructed. Each park generally comprises from one to three acres and is constructed at an average cost of $1,500 each.
The roadside parks are used very extensively as attested by favorable comments from visitors from all 50 States and from several foreign countries. It is not unusual to find as many as 15 cars in a park at one time.
Subject to official approval, the roadside parks program will be expanded during the next biennium to provide for construction of additional parks in order to help meet the demand of the traveling public for such facilities.

Truck Weighing Unit
Overloaded trucks are a major cause of pavement failures. Since 1950, the State Highway Department has conducted a program to enforce the laws relating to oversize and overweight vehicles. A Truck Weighing Unit of the Division of Maintenance was organized to enforce the laws governing sizes and weights of vehicles.
The Truck Weighing Unit is supervised by a director who has a complete office staff located in the General Offices in Atlanta. The director is empowered to direct the field activities of the Truck Weighing Unit through a field supervisor and area supervisors working directly under him.
This unit conducts its operations daily in the weighing and measuring of trucks and trailers. During this biennium the mobile enforcement units have been increased from 13 to 14 crews. They are strategically located throughout the State to insure compliance with the legal weight and size limitations on vehicles. These units are assigned to a new location of their weighing stations every day. Portable scales are used which can be very readily transported from one inspection location to another. The personnel of each weighing crew consists of a senior truck checker, who serves as crew foreman, and five truck checkers operating under him within an assigned district.
When a vehicle is found which exceeds the legal weight limit, the operator is required to shift and equalize the load in order to

162

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

conform with the law, or if this is not done, a case is made against the driver and he is tried in the court having jurisdiction in the county in which the violation is detected.
The Truck Weighing Unit has authority to issue special permits for overweight and oversize vehicles, authorizing travel over certain designated routes on the State System, when the conditions justify such a permit. In general, permits are issued only when movements are of such nature that other forms of transportation are not available, and that the cargo itself cannot be reduced, either in size or weight. Such items as roadbuilding equipment, extra large electrical transformers, and Government missiles fall into this category. Each such movement is carefully checked for possible obstructions, and the ability of the road surfaces and bridges to withstand additional size and weight of the vehicle.
In order to keep close check on vehicular movements, 25 men have been assigned for checking permits and are authorized under their title of "Permit Officer" to make arrests for violations.
The following is a brief summary of the activities of the Truck Weighing Unit during the biennium ending June 30, 1962:

Equipment
The Highway Maintenance Engineer in charge of equipment initiates requisitions for new equipment, after recommendations for purchase of additional equipment have been submitted by the various divisions. It is his responsibility to see that all new equipment delivered meets the specification requirements and is in proper working order. His records incorporate all identifica-

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

163

tion data necessary for adequate property controls. His services are available to all field divisions and their division repair shops.
In order to keep the equipment in good condition, repair and overhaul facilities are located at Cartersville, Gainesville, Athens, Tennille, Thomaston, Albany, Swainsboro, Glennville and Douglas. These shops have the personnel and equipment required to perform major and minor repairs and to provide traveling mechanics to do any necessary work in the field. During this biennium, the total cost of equipment purchased amounted to $3,621,305.08. These purchases were necessary for replacement of wornout and obsolete equipment.

Signs
An important service for the convenience and safety of the traveler in Georgia is the fabrication and erection of road warning and directional signs. These signs have to be replaced periodically on account of natural deterioration, vandalism and other causes. Another service of great importance is the marking of detours to guide the traveler safely around new construction work in progress throughout the State. The need for purchase of sign materials and the fabrication and erection of signs in their proper place are determined by the Superintendent of Signs. His work is coordinated with that of the Division of Highway Planning in cases where the traffic engineering studies of that division indicate that special design and layout of signs are required. The Superintendent of Signs also works in close cooperation with the field division personnel.
The State Highway Sign Shop is located at East Point, where old signs are reclaimed and new signs are fabricated for distribution to the field divisions. During this two-year period, the shop fabricated 64,879 new signs and reconditioned 9,821 old signs, making a total of 74,700 signs, at a cost of $412,462.97. By careful planning, constant supervision of production, and the addition of a new automatic sign shop machine, the cost of the signs has been kept to a minimum.
Erection of the signs on the highways is supervised by sign foremen located at Cartersville, Gainesville, Tennille, Thomaston, Albany, Douglas, McRae, Ludowici and Soperton. The necessary equipment and labor are furnished these foremen to prepare di-

rectional signs of local application and to erect all signs within their respective areas.

Radio Communications System
The Radio Communications System has proved to be a valuable tool in highway maintenance. Closer contact is being maintained between the General Office and the field division offices, between division offices and maintenance assistants, and between maintenance assistants and maintenance patrolmen. Better public relations are being maintained by disposing of complaints faster. Long-distance telephone calls have been reduced greatly, thus effecting a saving for the State. Another advantage of the radio system is the speed with which emergency messages can be dispatched and emergency work can be performed with as little delay as possible.
The Highway Maintenance Radio System includes all field divisions and is composed of 18 base stations and 316 mobile units. One of the base stations is remotely controlled from a field division office by a microwave link over a distance of 14 miles. The Department is in the process of installing one additional base station. The acquisition of sites for two other base stations is now under consideration. The mobile units cover every county in the State. Radio communications now include mobile units of roving mechanics, transfer trucks, bridge foremen, asphalt foremen, bridge crews, and two other units.
Emergency power-generating equipment has been installed in all of the field divisions. This equipment automatically furnishes power sufficient for continued radio operation in case of commercial power failure. The radio system is maintained by technicians employed by the Division of Maintenance. These men are communications specialists and are licensed by the Federal Government to make the repairs, adjustments and measurements necessary in maintaining a radio system. The staff of the Radio Communications System consists of a supervisor, an assistant supervisor and seven technicians.

Centerline and Bridge Painting
One of the greatest factors for safety to the traveling public is the application of reflectorized centerlines on paved roads. The Centerline and Bridge Painting Unit has in its organization

167

modern machinery and trained personnel to do this work. During the fiscal year 1959, this Centerline Unit began experimentation with pavement edge marking by use of an edge-striping machine fabricated in the small East Point Shop. The results were found very satisfactory in the application of the edge stripe, and much favorable comment was received from the traveling public. Subsequently, during the next three years, new modern edge-striping equipment and new centerline marking machines were purchased and placed in operation. The addition of these pieces of equipment now provides the Centerline Unit with a total of four truck-mounted outfits. In addition, a small portable centerline machine has been purchased and will be placed in operation during the next fiscal period. This phase of work, along with regular centerline striping, no doubt has reduced and prevented numerous accidents.
Work completed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1961, included 15,431 miles of centerline and barrier lines, 2,110 miles of edge striping, and 337 miles of prelining, requiring the use of 98,921 gallons of white centerline paint and 60,594 gallons of yellow centerline paint.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1962, work accomplished consisted of 16,708 miles of centerlines and barrier lines, 2,571 miles of edge striping, and 262 miles of prelining, Materials used included 116,345 gallons of white centerline paint and 65,326 gallons of yellow centerline paint.
During the two years all of the above work by centerline crews including labor, materials, supplies and equipment repairs was done at a cost of $1,162,269.01, for an average cost of $31.57 per mile of centerline.
The Centerline and Bridge Painting Unit is also responsible for painting and repairing certain bridges for which the field divisions do not have specialized forces. The bridge work done by this unit consists of painting both steel and concrete bridges at periodic intervals in order to preserve the structures. Some reinforced concrete bridges are waterproofed where cracks appear which expose steel to the elements and would cause deterioration. During the fiscal year 1961, 60 bridges were repaired and painted, and the same type of work was done on 58 bridges in 1962. The total cost of the bridge painting and repair work on

the 118 bridges was $368,981.09, which included labor, materials, supplies and equipment repairs.
The Centerline and Bridge Painting Unit is under the supervision of a superintendent, who has headquarters with a small office force at the East Point warehouse. This superintendent and his field personnel work in close cooperation with the field divisions and their work is supplementary to normal maintenance of bridges in the field divisions.

Tire and Battery Inspection
The personnel of the Tire and Battery Inspection Unit includes a supervisor, an assistant supervisor, and two clerical assistants. The offices are located at the East Point warehouse. Due to the numerous units of automotive and heavy maintenance equipment using pneumatic tires, the tires are purchased more economically under annual contract issued to the lowest responsible bidder. However, the tires are requisitioned in lots periodically, to be delivered and stocked at the field division shops for issuance to field operators of equipment as needed for the individual equipment units. It is the duty of the Tire and Battery Inspection Unit to maintain records of the serial numbers of the tires and batteries assigned to each piece of pneumatic-tired equipment owned by the Highway Department.
It is also the duty of this unit to make inspection trips to the field to examine all tires and batteries to see that they have a serial number and to examine all replaced tires to determine their fitness for recapping. If it is determined that it is not economically feasible to recap certain tires, they are centrally assembled and periodically disposed of as junk, under authority of the State Purchasing Department. In the event tires or batteries fail to meet the warranted service, it is the responsibility of this unit to require the vendor of such items to fulfill their guarantee.
East Point Warehouse
A facility of the State Highway Department in East Point, located between the Central of Georgia Railway and the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, with a spur track of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad running from the main line to the warehouse

loading ramp, is known as the East Point Warehouse. It houses the offices and shops of the following units:
Superintendent of Signs Superintendent of Equipment Radio Communications Tire and Battery Inspection Centerline and Bridge Painting Truck Weighing Repair Shop Division of Highway Planning Repair Shop
The warehouse is also used for stocking a small quantity of materials, supplies and repair parts used by the Radio Communications Unit and the Centerline and Bridge Painting Unit.

Douglas Shop and Warehouse
The Douglas Shop and Warehouse, located at Douglas, was established for making repairs to and overhauling major units of equipment which could not readily and feasibly be handled by the division repair shops. The warehouse portion of this facility is used for housing and issuance of a revolving stock of repair parts and supplies.
The shop makes repairs to various types of maintenance equipment and also makes repairs to and overhauls automotive equipment for the Construction Division. Each repair job is covered by a complete cost record and is identified by a shop job number. Upon completion of each shop job, the division or unit for which the work is done issues a confirmation requisition to cover the work done. After the requisition is processed, the Douglas Shop is given credit and the charges distributed to the proper unit or division.
Road Condition Bulletin
This division issues monthly a printed road condition bulletin, containing a State map on which is indicated locations at which construction is in progress, and whether the road is closed or traffic may proceed; and if the road is closed, the temporary route that has been provided. A list accompanies the map giving information as to the type of construction, the distance involved, and directions as to detours. Thirteen hundred copies of the bulletin are printed and distributed each month. A mailing list

Field Divisions
For administrative and operating purposes, the State is divided into six divisions, with headquarters in Gainesville, Tennille, Thomaston, Tifton, Jesup and Cartersville. It is through the many activities of the Field Division Engineers, and the work of the engineers and other experienced men on the division staff, that roads are finally constructed, maintained and operated. It is essential that competent men be continually employed in these positions as the final service of the State Highway Department to the people of the State becomes a reality through their efforts.
Organization
The Field Division Engineer is the administrative head of each division organization. In each division, several Assistant Field Division Engineers are assigned to construction supervision. Also in each division, an Assistant Field Division Engineer is in charge of maintenance, another serves as Office Engineer, one is responsible for right-of-way acquisition, and one is in charge of location surveys. Road plans for Federal-aid Secondary projects are prepared in the division office, under the supervision of a Road Designer.
All instructions issued by the officials of the General Office to field personnel are transmitted through the Field Division Engineer, who has direct administrative charge of all field operations, including location surveys, construction, and maintenance of roads and bridges on the State Highway System and construction of projects of the Georgia State Highway Authority. Also, he is in charge of location surveys and construction of Post Roads and Rural Roads Authority projects, but the maintenance of these roads is the responsibility of the counties. The Field Division Engineer and his assistants maintain close contact with county and other local officials concerning proposed work and other matters of mutual interest.
Construction
The Assistant Field Division Engineers in charge of construction give field supervision to the work of the Senior Resident Highway Engineers and other engineering personnel. They re-

view work in progress and render reports to the Field Division Engineer of any unusual features encountered in construction. They correct defects in methods of construction and make recommendations as to changes in methods and materials being used, and advise the Senior Resident Highway Engineers concerning plans and specifications. They also make frequent inspections of projects during all phases of construction, in company with engineers from the General Office. A representative of the Bureau of Public Roads is often present also on Federalaid projects other than Secondary.
One of the important duties of the Assistant Field Division Engineers in charge of construction is to accompany the engineers from the General Office and the Bureau of Public Roads in making Plans, Specifications and Estimate inspections. The purpose and procedures for the P.S. and E. inspections have been outlined in a preceding section of this report under the Division of Construction.
A Senior Resident Highway Engineer is responsible for the construction of projects in several counties, and under his direction the Resident Highway Engineers and Highway Project Engineers give immediate supervision to the construction work and prepare monthly and final statements of work performed by the contractors.

Maintenance
The maintenance of all roads on the State Highway System is handled by maintenance patrolmen, who are assigned to areas known as patrol sections. The patrolman is in charge of a crew with necessary equipment to perform routine maintenance work, such as machining dirt roads, cutting weeds along the right-ofway, and keeping open ditches and drainage structures. On hardsurfaced roads, holes are patched as they develop, cracks filled with bituminous materials, and drainage defects corrected. In addition to the regular maintenance crews, each division has several special maintenance outfits in charge of superintendents or foremen, who are provided with heavy equipment to handle more difficult repairs on roads and bridges. The work of the patrolmen is supervised by Highway Maintenance Assistants under the direction of the Assistant Field Division Engineer in charge of maintenance.

Division Headquarters
Several years ago it became apparent that permanent headquarters and adequate facilities were needed for the engineers and other personnel of the field division offices, in order to properly carryon the work under the expanded highway program. After a great deal of study and careful consideration, the decision was made in 1957 that the needs of the Highway Department would be served best by having six divisions, with headquarters at Gainesville, Tennille, Thomaston, Tifton, Jesup and Cartersville. During 1957 and 1958, modern, fully equipped, air-conditioned buildings were erected for the division offices at Thomaston, Tennille and Jesup, and during this biennium new division office buildings were constructed at Cartersville and Tifton. A new division headquarters building is under construction at Gainesville and will be occupied in the spring of 1963. The changeover from five to six field divisions became effective on January 1, 1961, with the division boundaries as shown on the map preceding this section of the report.

Division of Highway Planning
OPERATED IN COOPERATION WITH U. S. BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS
ROY A. FLYNT State Highway Planning Engineer
The Division of Highway Planning is operated in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and is financed jointly with Federal and State funds. Since 1934, the various FederalAid Highway Acts of Congress have authorized the use of 11;2 per cent of all Federal-aid highway funds for engineering and economic studies. These Federal funds are matched by State funds in the same ratio as that applicable to construction funds. Title 23, United States Code, specifies that these funds may be expended for engineering and economic surveys and investigations, for the planning of future highway programs and the financing thereof, for studies of the economy, safety, and convenience of highway usage and the desirable regulation and equitable taxation thereof, and for research necessary in connection with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of highways and highway systems, and the regulation and taxation of their use. The funds are available for planning and research only, and may not be used except for the purposes outlined above.
The principal functions of the Division of Highway Planning consist of conducting fact-finding studies, economic investigations, fiscal studies, inventories of highways, traffic safety engineering, rural traffic surveys, urban traffic studies, preparation of State and county maps, and recording the history of road development. Reports and recommendations prepared on the basis of these studies and records aid the members of the State Highway Board and other officials of the Highway Department in the formulation of policies and the intelligent planning for future highway needs. Much of the work as carried on by this division has been made a prerequisite of approval for Federalaid construction projects.
Traffic Safety Engineering
During this biennium, this division has surveyed traffic and highway conditions and made recommendations for the im-

182

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

provement of traffic movement and safety at a total of 3,235 locations on the State Highway System. This work has been done in all 159 counties in the State.
The above total included 276 locations at which traffic conditions were investigated in connection with applications for permits for the erection and operation of traffic signals on State highways. Plans and recommendations covering signal installations or other types of improvement were made for each of these locations, such as Stop, Speed Limit, Parking, Warning and other signs.
Investigations were made at 1,825 places at which accidents had occurred and 350 locations at which unsatisfactory traffic conditions had been reported. Recommendations concerning parking, routing, speed zoning, channelization and other improvements were made for 778 other locations. The site and layout of six drive-in theaters were checked for traffic safety.
Signing plans were prepared for 122 projects, of which 36 were on limited-access highways, and for 159.7 miles of Interstate highways.
A survey of existing traffic control devices including signs, pavement markings and traffic signals, as well as a measurement of travel time studies, was completed on 7,725 miles of the State System. This information was compiled on the most heavily traveled roads, including almost the entire Federal-aid Primary System, and is to be used in the preparation of detail reports to the Bureau of Public Roads.
Annual studies of traffic speed and speed trends on State highways have been made. The information obtained was furnished to the Bureau of Public Roads and when combined with similar information furnished by other States is useful to the Highway Department in the establishment of highway design standards. The information is also furnished to the State Department of Public Safety for their use.
The Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways provides for the designation of speed zones by the Director of Public Safety upon determination of the need for and extent of such zones by the Director of Public Safety and the State Highway Board, based upon engineering and traffic investigations. The Division of Highway Planning makes the necessary speed control studies in connection with the establishment of speed zones.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

183

Such studies are undertaken by this division upon its own initiative, or upon the request of the county commissioners or municipal authorities. Recommendations are submitted to the Director of Public Safety and if he concurs therein, he issues an order establishing the speed zone.
Copies of all reports of traffic accidents reported by the Georgia State Patrol are furnished to the Division of Highway Planning by the Department of Public Safety. These reports are reviewed each month and any highway conditions reported by the State Patrol as having caused, or having been a factor in, an accident are reported to the Field Division Engineers so that the conditions may be corrected immediately. A total of 1,309 locations have been reported to and checked by the Field Division Engineers during this biennium.
The Georgia Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices f01' Streets and Highways, originally issued in January 1954, was revised, effective July 1, 1962, and the entire Manual was reprinted. The revised Manual was based upon the Manual prepared by the National Joint Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, consisting of the American Association of State Highway Officials, the Institute of Traffic Engineers, the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances, the National Association of County Officials and the American Municipal Association. The Manual has been approved by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public Roads, for use on Federal-aid projects, and is the operational policy for the Highway Department in its relationship with all agencies concerned with traffic control. Seven meetings were held throughout the State, at which the requirements of the new Manual were explained. All State, county and city officials were invited and more than a thousand people attended the meetings. The new Manual has been widely distributed to officials and others interested.

Rural Traffic Surveys
Traffic counts are being made 24 hours a day, every day in the year, by the use of traffic recording machines at 25 permanent stations located at strategic points throughout the State. Sixteen of these stations are located on main or through highways and nine are located on roads having local or farm-tomarket characteristics. In conjunction with the permanent sta-

184

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

tions, some of which have been in operation 24 years, 326 stations, having 1,417 count locations, are being operated. Traffic counts for 48-hour and 72-hour periods are made at these locations four times a year, during the four seasons, and these counts are expanded to give seasonal variations and annual averages for any given location within the State. In addition to the above, coverage counts of 24 hours were made in every county, on the State Highway System and major county roads.
A loadometer or truck-weighing survey is conducted once a year, at 12 strategic points throughout the State, to obtain data on truck types, changes in truck traffic volumes and weights, loading practices, etc. These data are furnished to Highway officials and the Bureau of Public Roads and when combined with similar data from other States are used to establish trends in traffic classification, in the weights and weight distribution of commercial vehicles, and the quantities of goods transported.
Each year a traffic flow map of the State Highway System is prepared and sufficient copies are printed for distribution to Chambers of Commerce, business concerns and others. Copies of the map may be obtained from the Division of Highway Planning upon request.
This division makes field traffic checks at the locations of new construction projects, and furnishes the data to the Division of Road Design and the Division of Urban Projects for their use in the design of Federal-aid projects. This work consists of preparing schematic diagrams in strip map presentation together with diagrammatic sketches of each major intersection upon which is shown the estimated future traffic for the next 20 years on the Interstate and Primary Systems, and for the next 10 years on the Secondary System.

Urban Studies
Traffic problems in urban areas continue to receive special study by the Division of Highway Planning. Such studies include comprehensive traffic surveys covering volumes and character of traffic and routes followed by the various vehicles. The purpose of these studies is to secure highway transportation data which will aid the Highway Department in providing improved traffic service in and near the principal cities, and to aid city planners in dealing with the critical traffic and parking problems existing within these areas.

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

185

During this biennium, the field work has been completed on origin-destination traffic surveys in Albany, LaGrange and Winder. The analysis of the traffic data is in progress and maps, charts and graphs are being prepared for inclusion in a report to be written for each city to present the findings and conclusions of the studies. Similar analysis is also in progress on the traffic surveys of Gainesville, Rome and Jesup, for which field work was performed in the previous biennium. Reports were completed on traffic surveys in Dalton and Statesboro.
A comprehensive transportation study is being made in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, on which the field work began in April 1960. This study is being conducted in cooperation with the officials of the cities, counties and planning agencies in the area, and is intended to provide vital information needed in planning for adequate transportation service. Of course, the Bureau of Public Roads is participating also in the conduct of the study.
The Atlanta Area Transportation Study consists basically of an inventory of the movement of persons and vehicles and the facilities for their movement; and an inventory of land, land use, and land-use trip generation rates. The movement and landuse inventories are composed of approximately 30 phases of data collection and compilation. Each specific phase requires two to eighteen months' work, and generally two or more phases are conducted simultaneously.
The urban area boundaries of places of 5,000 or more population were fixed on the basis of reports prepared by this division, and studies continue to be made to determine desirable revisions that should be made in these boundaries, particularly where the city limits have been extended.

Planning in Cities Over 50,000
In the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, Congress declared it to be in the national interest to encourage and promote the development of transportation systems, embracing various modes of transport in a manner that will serve the States and local communities efficiently and effectively. To accomplish this objective, the Bureau of Public Roads is directed to cooperate with the State highway departments in the development of long-range highway plans and programs which are properly coordinated with plans for improvement in other affected forms of trans-

186

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

portation and which are formulated with due consideration to their probable effect on the future development of urban areas of more than fifty thousand population. The Act provides that after July I, 1965, a Federal-aid project in an urban area of more than fifty thousand population shall not be approved unless such project is based on a continuing comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooperatively by the State Highway Department and the local communities. The six cities in Georgia with population of more than 50,000 are Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah. The Division of Highway Planning will utilize the 11;2 per cent Federal-aid planning and research funds in carrying on the above-described long-range planning in the cities named.

Rood Inventory
A complete inventory of all rural roads in the State was finished in July 1954, and a reinventory was completed in all counties in 1961. The road inventory includes the measurement of all public roads in the State, in accordance with an Act of the General Assembly of 1951, as outlined in a preceding section of this report. This work is essential to keep the records up-todate and has provided the field data required in the preparation of revised county maps.
Information was obtained on each road to show the type of grading, base and surface; the width of surface, roadbed and right-of-way; topography and culture in sight of the road, such as farm units, dwellings, schools, churches, cemeteries, airports, lakes, streams, railroads and public parks. The information obtained on bridges includes type of substructure, type of superstructure for each span, length of spans, and other data.
Information was also obtained on each railway-highway crossing, indicating the sight distance, kind of obstructions which restrict clear views, and type of protective devices. These data will be useful in the preparation of programs for protecting the most dangerous railway crossings by flashing lights, gates or separation structures.
Maps
Maps of all counties in Georgia, prepared by this division, are available to the public at twenty-five cents each, to cover the cost of printing. The maps are revised on the basis of the road

inventory and show all roads, streams, railroads, municipalities, militia districts, and items of culture as mentioned above.
The value and usefulness of the county maps are evidenced by the large demand from individuals, business and engineering concerns, and governmental agencies. During the past two years, an average of 206 orders per month have been filled, varying in quantity from one map to a complete set of 159 maps. These maps are also of inestimable value in carrying on the various activities of the Highway Department.
The official map of the State Highway System, issued for free distribution, is prepared by this division and has been revised twice during this period. This map is lithographed in colors and wide distribution is made throughout the United States to tourists and others who plan trips to Georgia.
Maps are being prepared for all incorporated places in the State. Maps of 290 municipalities have been finished and are available for sale to the public.

Road Life Study
The Road Life Study has as its objective the assembly of records of highway construction and retirement on the State Highway System. This study provides a complete record of every road and bridge on the State Highway System constructed by the Highway Department since its organization in 1916, as well as roads and bridges constructed by the various Authorities. These records show the amount of expenditure for each type of construction, a detailed description of each road and bridge by location, type of surface, length, width, year built, and all subsequent retirements and reconstruction.

Fiscal Study
Each year, information is compiled on the revenue, expenditures, and outstanding bond indebtedness for roads and streets of all counties and municipalities in the State. These data are obtained directly from the records of the local governmental units. Monthly and annual statistical reports are prepared for the use of Highway officials and the Bureau of Public Roads on motor-vehicle registrations, highway-user taxes, and highway expenditures.

188

Twenty-Ninth Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Route Inspection Reports
Field inspections are made and route inspection reports prepared by the Division of Highway Planning on all projects before location surveys are made. These reports contain information on the population to be served, the source and volume of traffic, any alternate routes considered feasible, present condition of the road, gradients, stream crossings, railway-highway crossings, railroad and traffic hazards, and other features which will be of assistance in selecting the most advantageous route on which the permanent roadbed shall be constructed. These route inspection reports are distributed to the various divisions of the Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads, and used as guides in the location and design of highways and bridges.

Records of Highway Systems
This division assembles factual data required by the Bureau of Public Roads in justification of all projects included in the various Federal-aid programs and prepares reports to substantiate requests for additions to or changes in the Federal-aid Systems. Records are kept of the State Highway System and the various Federal-aid Systems. An annual report is compiled, of which copies are furnished to the Bureau of Public Roads, giving information as to the mileage and surface type of roads constructed during the year and the total mileage, by type of surface, of the State Highway System, county roads, and the Federal-aid Systems.
Tabulations are made of the State Highway System by routes, counties and Congressional Districts, for use by other units of the Highway Department and the State and local governments. A tabulation of the official mileage of the State Highway System and other public roads in each county is furnished to the State Treasurer as of the beginning of each fiscal year, which is used as a basis for the apportionment and disbursement of the State funds appropriated by the General Assembly to the counties for construction and maintenance of roads.
As directed by the State Highway Board, this division prepares resolutions, accompanied by sketch maps, covering additions to the State Highway System, including relocations and abandonments due to new construction.

Highway Research Projects
Several highway research projects are being financed with
Federal-aid 1% per cent planning and research funds and State-
matching funds.
A contract was made with Georgia State College to conduct a study to determine the economic effects of highway bypasses around the urban areas, which has been in progress since July 1957, and will be continued for several years.
The Severance Damage Study has been described in the section of this report under Division of Right-of-Way, and the Skid Resistance Study has been outlined under the Division of Materials and Tests.
The Engineering Experiment Station of Georgia Institute of Technology is conducting the following research projects under contracts with the State Highway Department, which are also being financed with planning and research funds.
1. A study of the stresses produced in a flexible pavement system.
2. An investigation to determine the economy and practicality of using various type soils treated with Portland cement or other admixtures for highway construction.
3. A correlation study to improve asphalt pavement design methods using Georgia aggregates.
4. A study of a lightweight aggregate concrete for prestressed highway bridge girders.
5. A study of bearing capacity of pile foundations.
6. A study of the influence of ramp spacing on traffic flow characteristics on the Atlanta Expressway System.
7. A study of the use of radioisotopes in the development of test methods and formulations for traffic paints.
8. A study of land-use planning and control along the Interstate Highway System in Georgia.
Several of these studies have already provided information that has proven very valuable to the Highway Department, and it is anticipated that upon completion of these studies and investigations considerable benefit will be derived from these projects.

The Division of Highway Planning has made a Pavement Evaluation Study, using formulas derived from the results of the 3-year AASHO Road Test Project, conducted in Illinois by the Highway Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council. This is a step in the establishing of relationships of road structural designs to the wear and tear of actual vehicular travel over a road, which will be followed up with other detailed applications to Georgia conditions of the results obtained in the AASHO Road Test.
The AASHO Road Test Project was financed from combined funds of all of the States provided from the 1% per cent of Federal-aid highway funds allocated to research and planning, together with funds from the Federal Government and industry.

Reproduction and Microfilm
The Reproduction Unit and the Microfilm Unit are under the general and administrative direction of the Division of Highway Planning. The Reproduction Unit is under the immediate supervision of the Supervisor of Duplicating Services. This unit operates equipment for reproduction of documents by photographic, chemical, and offset processes. The equipment includes cameras, Xerox plate-making equipment, Multilith offset machines, collator, folding machines, power paper cutter, copying machine, etc.
The Microfilm Unit operates Recordak microfilm machines for the microfilming of important records so as to reduce the storage space required. The films are being filed in cabinets and a reader is available for ready reference, but if the record must be reproduced, this can be done with the appropriate equipment.

Division of Finance and Audits
W. M. WILLIAMS Secretary and Treasurer
The Secretary and Treasurer of the State Highway Department is the administrative head of the Division of Finance and Audits. It is his duty and responsibility to receive, protect, and disburse all funds coming into the Highway Department.
The Division of Finance and Audits maintains an adequate system of financial records and an internal audit system. It prepares, quarterly, a comprehensive budget under which the Secretary and Treasurer approves all funds for the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies and services before such purchases are authorized by the State Highway Board. This division prepares all financial reports, including a monthly balance sheet with supporting data which reflects the current financial condition of the Highway Department and the available resources to the end of the current fiscal year.
The accompanying statements reflect the financial condition of the Highway Department for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1961, and June 30, 1962.
The balance sheet, reflecting assets, liabilities, and capital investments, is identified as Exhibit "A".
Exhibit "B" reflects the revenue from all sources accruing to the Department and amounts appropriated to each of the various activities for the years 1961 and 1962.
The actual receipts and expenditures for the periods are presented in Exhibit "C".
A comparison of the receipts and expenditures for the past ten-year period is found in Exhibit "E".
The records are subjected to a thorough annual examination by the State Auditor, who has found the financial activities fully recorded and the accounting procedure to be sound and adequate.

byword in the Electronic Computer Center of the Division of Finance and Audits. The original venture into electronically processing data occurred in January 1957, with the installation of an International Business Machines Type 650 Magnetic Drum Data-Processing Machine. The 650 Computer became inadequate and was replaced in May 1962 with the more modern and versatile I.B.M. 1620 Computer. The change was necessitated by the demand for greater flexibility, increased speed, and enlarged storage area, so as to more adequately process the increasingly complicated programs being written for bridge and roadway design. No longer is Electronic Data Processing considered to be clothed in a shroud of mystery, but instead it has become the accepted means by which complicated and diversified computations and reports required in the areas of design, statistics, and accounting may be secured faster, more accurately and at less cost.
During this biennium, the Electronic Computer Center has computed the earthwork volumes on over 4,100 miles of roadway at an average cost of $14.68 per mile. Formerly the cost to manually compute such volumes was $105.02 per mile. This work was performed for the design divisions and also to determine the earnings of the contractors. Traverse problems, involving areas, interchange elevations, slope measurements, etc., are now an everyday routine. During this biennium, the center has processed an average of 250 traverse problems per month, with an estimated saving of two to three engineering man-hours per traverse.
Work performed for the Division of Bridges included the processing of 3,120 problems. These involved skewed bridges on horizontal circular curves, analysis of continuous beams, quantities of reinforcing steel, beam deflections, reinforcing concrete beams, culvert designs, and roadway sign foundations. The Division of Bridges estimates that the services of approximately 25 or 30 additional engineers would have been required to obtain the quality of solutions furnished by the computer center.
The current payrolls, including the various deductions and pension costs, are computed. The center also prepares the records of individual employees' accumulative earnings on a calendaryear basis for income tax and social security purposes, and also on a fiscal-year basis to meet the requirements of State laws. The cost ledgers for maintenance, administration, warehouses,
